Last Friday I met a friend for lunch at Poor Herbies in Madison and the restaurant was bustling! They, as well as most of the restaurants in town, are showing their support for the Jets.
In addition, a film crew was set up outside Eastern Mountain Sports filming what looked like a commercial.
The whole town felt festive with Jets flags flying on every light post. Suddenly a fully decorated ambulance with Jets slogans and guys smiling came driving through town.
Their big win really has everyone hopeful. I’ve been a lazy fan, but the game on Sunday was really good. I’ll be paying more attention this week!
Whatever happens, I hope the Jets practice at their facility in Florham Park next summer. Their adopted home area deserves it for being so loyal.

Well, it’s winter and cold but that hasn’t stopped people from enjoying the outdoors. The skaters are back on the pond in Harding! Every day, a few times a day, a crew member from the hard-working Harding Township Department of Public Works checks to see if the ice is strong enough on the two skating ponds. There are two designated areas the town floods for skating. The depth is approximately 6-12 inches. The bigger fishing pond is not open to skating.
It’s a wonderful sight to see the sign go up, YES, Skating. Invariably, a group develops throughout the day. It’s a sweet scene of skaters young and old trying out the ice. Usually the hockey players use one pond and the figure skaters and first timers check out the other.
There are also trails for snow shoeing and cross country skiing in several of the surrounding parks which cover the Great Swamp. The manmade built trails are open for walking as well, so no excuses! Get out and enjoy this beautiful winter weather.
