What was this weekend about? I guess if anything it was about not leaving the stoop. Kayrn and I have become stoop-people, stoop dwellers, stoop snobs. Folks from the neighborhood walk by and smile at us, they say things like "how's the view today? "where's the champagne, gheah?!" "STOOPS!" "Troop Stoop!"...we left the stoop briefly to go to the corner store, when we got back a neighbor asked "how was the commute?"...we've become neighborhood characters, stoop-eccentrics, island hoppers on the beautiful big isle of STOOP...the only time we left the stoop this weekend was to eat cheeseburgers, play pool and go to the grocery store. Am I forgetting anything? Don't think I am. Oh yeah, we also left the stoop to eat loads of pasta at Emmy's Spaghetti Shack, a brief but fun interlude between hardcore Saturday afternoon stoop-seshing. And then Sunday was split evenly between stoop-maxing and work day. Karyn on a fantastic new set of photos she's been retouching and me on finishing up the RAVE ON! manuscript. Got tons of good work done, so did she...so, back to the stoop to celebrate! And then fried pickles and hushpuppies and flounder for dinner, banana pudding and peanut butter cheese cake for dessert...and then the stoops for digestion.
