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.

My friend stayed there with his whole family. He didn't know anything about the supposed hauntings. Upon his return, I asked how they had liked it and was told that all night they kept waking up because they thought someone was coming into the room. They said the whole place gave them the creeps.
