"Did you hear the cops finally busted Madame Marie for tellin' fortunes better than they do....For me this boardwalk life is through."
Bracing wind and raging waves. It's exhilarating but also melancholic as I'm stretching to grasp the la...st bit of a summer that slipped by too fast. The crowds are gone; the amusements shuttered; in the cold, a wedding couple tries to look romantic against lavender six-o'clock skies. It is mid-October on the Asbury Boardwalk. My only companions are Gem Gem and the latest incarnation of Madam Marie.
