“Then I’ll fire up the grill and cook my friends hot dogs ”

Boredom Heights, Ditmas. But my next move is gonna be to buy a big ole oil burner in VF (or maybe Midwood is more my budget).
Ever see Money Pit? Crappy late 80s (?) movie with Tom Hanks? That’s my dream. Buy a big wraparound porch, then backup a dump truck full of money and pour it into the black hole inside the porch. Then I’ll fire up the grill and cook my friends hot dogs (because we’ll be too house poor to afford steaks), and tell all my friends how great it is to have a wood stove to gather around in the winter. I’ll leave out the part about closing off the other 12 rooms because we can’t afford the heating bill.

“when was the last time PS had something that was really special, something so awesomely great that everyone was talking about it and coming from all over the borough to check it out.”
hehe – you’re gonna get it from 11217!!!
BTW, I do like their green market better than downtown or Ft Greene or that produce co-op thing they do down in CG – so that is one thing I go over there besides the park/museum/library/garden.
