stoop time:

our neighborhood has a few pastimes, especially in the evening when the sun is setting and the air has cooled. eating italian ice, buying fruits & veggies at the most beautiful produce stand in brooklyn, drinking of course and sitting on stoops. we however do not have a stoop, so taking a queue from all the old italian men in our neighborhood, we bought a few cheap camp chairs and have enjoyed “stoop time” every night for the past two weeks. while partaking of a tasty beverage, curtis and i sit for at least an hour and watch our neighborhood live. we see a few of the same people every night. the guy with the really small head (aka: pea head), the woman who looks like she is visiting her son, the beefcake who is always carrying his computer without a case, the girl with the really really long legs (aka: legs) and the runner who wears a belt. we talk and laugh with each other and get to talk and laugh with our neighbors. it’s the best. there was no stoop time tonight because i was working and curtis was at the ymca. i missed it.
