It was a fine experience and pleasure compiling the best of Rockland for the “Dining, Leisure, and Life” Vol. 1 correspondence . I am currently in the preliminary stages for the second edition, for those of you with any recommendations, or knowledge of a local eatery that is in dire need of review, please feel free to direct such inquiries to damien@baer-mcintosh.com. To quell the rapidly permeating rumours as per who I am, I must inform you that due to a formal departure into retirement from the world of literature, I prefer to remain anonymous under my aforementioned pen-name. Some might ask about my affiliation with Baer & McIntosh. My response is as follows, upon relocating from the upper east side in Manhattan to Snedens Landing, I was delighted to meet Debbie Blankfort through a close friend and local celebrity. Not only did Debbie realize my dream home but made it a reality as well. The experience was so fruitful, I decided to offer my pen in its later years, to show my gratitude and share the sensational lifestyle Debbie’s grace and patience has brought and allowed me to foster ever since.
