This is the 3rd generation of the "Dan's Place" blog of my random thoughts that I initially intended to be like postings outside my cubicle wall -- a virtual bulletin board kind of thing, which started in June 2003.
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.

Book management sites
If you're on Shelfari, join me there. My profile name is KillerOwl. I'm also trying out Goodreads -- might have to search by my name there. And the BiblioCommons service that may be available on your library's website after you login to your library account. (Searching may not be possible. Might have to make a list or review before someone else can see you.)

Cary Grant Project
I'm not sure why I like this one as much as I do. When you stop and think about it, there's not all that much going on in "Holiday", originally a stage play. But it does have both Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn, so that probably boosts it up a lot. In this one, Cary Grant wants to go off and enjoy his life as soon as he has enough money to do so, and then later put in all those long years of working, when he's older. Crazy rebel. Which makes him kind of disruptive in the house of the girl he wants to marry, what with them being part of the super rich and her father expecting him to join his business and make money. Lots and lots of money. Four-story mansions in Manhattan with half a dozen servants don't come cheap, you know. But everyone in the family isn't so stuffy and pretentious as the girl and her father. For instance, "black sheep" sister, Katharine Hepburn. Hmm. I wonder which sister he'll end up with.
