I wish I had three fireplaces. In our house, you have to make a reservation to get on the loveseat over by the fireplace.

Thought he already had a place in Edina? Isn't Fleck always yakking about being his neighbor?

He did but his wife wanted a bigger house. Not on the same street anymore but still in the same vicinity somewhat.

Perhaps he wasn’t crazy about his neighbors.

Update: I am NOT sitting or lying on it at the present time.

Beautiful homes and all, but it still amazes me how being in "Edina" seems to add 25-50% of value to some of these houses.

I would think watching your neighbor sprint out of his house every day to get the mail would be elite. Assuming he was clothed.

Pitino likes to joke that he moved to get away from him.

Would rather it be PJ's first wife. Very, very attractive & classy looking woman.

Either one is my preference.

Ya, he bought a million dollar home in Edina when he got the job. I remember the pictures of those and it looked great. This is quite the upgrade.

I found the listing. It's incredibly nice. It has got TVs over the fireplaces though which I think is lame, but to each their own.

Richard needed a house where his dad had a place for an extended stay. [emoji41]
