Wow! Nice Spread. I've been meaning to head to Montauk, but just cause its the end of Long Island. I did not actually consider being inside a building. But this is a nice one. Did you stay here?

i did - it's crazy expensive, thankfully my fiancee's parents were paying the bill.
montauk is quite an interesting place, definitely worth a trip. you might be interested to see Robert Moses' Hither Hills State Park, though there is also a ton of stuff dating to several centuries back. deep hollow ranch, for instance, is the oldest continuously operating cattle ranch in the u.s. - founded 1658! to be honest i wish i knew more of the town's history than i do.

Yeah, man. I love my in-laws.

I could post lots of the places they've gotten me into, from hotels to restaurants to b'way shows. Wise of you to marry in such a direction. And fun! I hope your partnership is a great one!

My wife and I are headed out to Fire Island in august, but since the in-laws are not footing the bill this time, it will be in a tent, not a manor.

PS: Its amazing the history of Ling Island. It developed at around the same time as NYC, only British--not Dutch. And East to West. I guess it just three hundred years for things to meet in the middle, at a cheesy strip mall outside Hicksville--or wherever.
