It’s cool to be a good ghoul in school, right?
Wait. Is that a lobster raising its claw to answer the teacher? Why, yes, it is. The teacher is unfazed. But the lesson? Well, it seems that this day in a Fair Haven 1980s classroom is all about costumes and little to nothing about reading, writing and ‘rithmetic.

It was all about falling for the fall season with some sips, pets and socializing. The coffee was on and company came to celebrate the fall with festivities at Coffee Corral in Red Bank this past sunny Saturday.
Turns out that the Corral’s Fair Havenite owners, Courtlyn (Crosson) and Erich Reulbach, had the timing just right to offer up some free fall fun, food and feting before the rain came, cancelling lots of other fall and Halloween fetes on Sunday.
And the sun shone bright on the chicks and goats and sheep and folks scurrying to socialize and soak it all up. We’re told a sunny good time was had by all — even the animals.
Cheers to fall and coffee!

It’s that time the year again when thoughts of old-time Hunt times come flooding back for many Rumson-Fair Haven area folks. There still may be a Hunt, but not this one. So, we are offering a glimpse back to the days of the Haskell Hunt from a non-tailgating vantage point with a reprise of the following Retro Pic(s) of the Day piece originally posted on Oct. 20, 2017 …
We went on the hunt for more Hunt photos and stumbled onto a couple of glimpses at the happening scene up on hip, hip Hippie Hill.
It was probably the late 1970s. These peacefully assembled cool long hairs and renegades likely snuck into the Haskell Hunt through the fence and onto that infamous hill on ol Amory Haskell’s elegant estate.

All was set up and rolling to film portions of the romantic comedy (Rom-Com) Which Brings Me to You at the Columbus Club on Fair Haven Road. Scenes for the film have been shot in other towns in the area — Rumson, Red Bank, Highlands and Keansburg.
According to IMBd, it’s about “two romantic burnouts (who) meet at a wedding and almost hook up in the coatroom before putting the brakes on. They agree to exchange candid confessions about their pasts on the off chance that this might be the real thing.”
Starring Genevieve Angelson, Lucy Hale and Nat Wolff and directed by Peter Hutchings, Fair Haven Mayor Josh Halpern caught the above scenes and posted them on social media, saying …
“How cool is it of the Columbus Club to accommodate the cast and crew of the movie Which Brings Me To You … As always, Fair Haven is in the center of it all. Can’t wait to see the results on the big screen!”
And that’s what was scene around in the Rumson-Fair Haven area today.
Thanks to the mayor for the photos.

A hunting they did go … RFHers in the 1980s, that is.
Where there was a Hunt, there was a way to party back in the day when the infamous Hunt came to the Haskell estate in Middletown. Yes, there’s still a Hunt, but it’s not this one — the one that became a decades-long rite of passage for RFH students and grads, among many others.

Sometimes it’s all about you … the sun, the sand and the sea.
And that sometime is now. There’s no better time for soaking up some sacred solitude than a sunny fall seashore kind of day. The kind of day when that solitary sit-down, stroll or swing casts a welcome shadow of sunny serenity — always bringing you home with some beach time in Sea Bright.
Call it self-absorbed and soak it all up. It’s that time. Time to fall for yourself — into that seascape time capsule. The one that keeps you forever beached at home.
And the weather forecast calls for that time early this week. Here it is, courtesy of the National Weather Service …
