American dream of big house is great as long as not taken too seriously. My brother has all that & has also had a lot of health problems and a lot of bitterness, so much I've stayed away from him. I asked him once what happened to the fun wise ass I missed? He & his wife followed his kid to a college city, now live in crowded 2-bedroom apt. three adults and two pets. He hasn't sounded so happy in years!! In the heart of this intellectual,crowded place the old fight-system wiseguy is alive again!

I saw this doc., very good. Be careful what u want, tho, u just might get it. My brother has a really big house, has accomplished the American dream. And he was losing his joy & spontaneity. All he & his wife ever did was complain, abt the upkeep of the house, abt both sides of their family, etc. I was so sick of his whining, I rarely went to see him, my sister less & less. Then, his kid started college in St. Augustine, the oldest European city in US. He & his wife radically downsized.
