Kay cannot get enough of that show about couples having their dream homes built. Since it's not my cup of tea, I find it a tad annoying, but then I remember the principle that we tend to watch our dreams. In that regard, it is touching that, despite her old age, she still likes to think about getting a dream home. Of course, I also remember mother often talking about how we would get a dream home one day - swimming pool, billiard room, a mansion.
On TV we watch our dreams ... I guess that means Pop still dreams of being a cowboy. And me? Leaving aside rape-pornography, which is obvious and doesn't require commentary, the principle still works for me, as I do dream about being a writer, an artist, despite my old age. I tend to home in on those shows & movies, about artists finding their voices, about artists struggling to put a work together, about artists talking about art. A couple of recent big ones, for instance, are the films "Youth" by Sorrentino and Jim Jarmusch's "Paterson". Though, there are not as many of these as I could use to fill up my TV-watching time. I guess reading books is a better way to follow that dream anyway.
