I was down the shore this weekend, enjoying the sea, the sun and the sweeping panorama of people without masks. Honestly, that was even more beautiful than the sunset over the Atlantic.
One of those sunsets was observed from an outside patio at a fantastic pizzeria just outside of Atlantic City. My Sicilian Square with âMommaâsâ sauce was so good, I had to tell âMommaâsâ son how much I loved it. He replied, with an almost wistful expression in his eyes: âThank you, I only wish I had Momma here with me to help out.â
What I thought was a poignant reference to his deceased mother turned out to be the lament of a small business owner.
