Saturday, 3/27/10 from 1 to 4 p.m. at 100 Int'l Boardwalk, RB Pier --Clam Chowder Cook-off!

Your $7 fee goes to The Wellness Community, a cancer patient support facility. You get to taste five chowders -- New England and Manhattan and vote for the one you think is the best.

Tasting starts at 1 p.m. and ends at 4 p.m. We're going because Richie loves chowder. He's a former clammer and his brother and his two sons are clammers to this day. Clams in the blood you might say...

Happy Birthday!

Ms. Verena Robertson, of Carson, CA, was 104 years old yesterday. She told the reporter, "A good life is a life with nice people. And I have good people in my life."

I liked that and whole-heartedly believe it to be true.
