Cooper: Diane, last night I dreamed I was eating a large, tasteless gumdrop, and awoke to discover I was chewing on one of my foam disposable earplugs. Perhaps I should consider moderating my nighttime coffee consumption.

08/01/2009: "Cary Grant"


The tribulations involved in building your dream house were as true 60 years ago as they are today, based on people I know who've done it, and the movie I just watched. In Cary Grant's "Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House", we see the well-off middle class New Yorker -- making 15 grand a year! -- looking for the comfort and serenity of a place in the country. And naturally nothing seems to go right.
