Well, it's been good talking with you.
But let me ask you this, since you use Texans,
how much is it a month?
Oh, shoot it's only about ten bucks a month.
Now that's for individual.
Yeah,
I mean, uh, to add dependents is, is you know, maybe another dollar or something
it's no big deal.
That's it?
Yeah.
Now if you, if y... |
God, I am so dependent these days.
Really.
It's a sense
Oh, seen that my, my co-dependents have turned on the hose and are getting my neighbor's fence.
Wonderful.
Yeah
So my position for management to domestic goddess has been an adjustment
but boy, I think I'm going to go contact Texans.
I really think I am,
Yeah.
I m... |
If you're in Richardson you'd probably wanted to come to the, to the Dallas site.
Oh, I'm actually right on the Plano line.
Oh, well, then you could go either one,
Yeah.
the Spring Creek one is a lot more modern, has a lot more niceties, amenities
and you'd probably like the pool there.
Oh, God it sounds like I would.
... |
Uh, mostly I do needlepoint, I guess.
Oh really.
But, um,
What kinds of things have you done?
Um, well, I've made a lot of baby gifts
Uh-huh.
It seem like that's,
like, especially lately there's been so many babies, that, uh, bibs and blankets, and things like that. Wall hangings, um,
Do you ever keep any of your stuff... |
Ooh.
and, I, I needlepointed the face,
and I, uh, kept that because she gave me that.
So,
That, that would be definitely something you'd want to keep.
Oh, yeah.
And it's real neat.
Was, was the whole face done or just the numbers, and, and, like minute marks?
Um, basically, the whole,
well, no,
I guess the minute marks... |
and then I got into the Bargello.
Oh, what's that?
Well, it's an Italian, um, needlework, using, using the uh,
I started to say the canvas,
but the, uh, huh,
what kind of cloth uses that.
I, I've just gone blank.
But it's used with yarn,
and it usually takes long stitches over two or three openings in the cloth
Huh.
an... |
but I didn't know if it's been my color choice or multiple moves or, or what,
Yeah,
and it,
I was so proud of them when I got them finished,
but I have no idea where they are.
What did you call that?
Bargello.
It's B, A, R, G, E, double L, O out the
Huh.
That's,
I've never heard of that before.
I've probably seen it, t... |
I use to do a lot more and sell at craft shows.
Me, too.
Really
Yes
That's interesting.
Yeah,
it is.
How did you know to choose this subject, tonight.
That's funny
What,
how did you,
what kinds of decorations did you use with the
how were you decorating the baskets?
Oh, basically bows and lace uh, ribbons.
Um.
Um. I re... |
Like fabric that's been stiffened.
Yeah.
Yes.
I've never done that,
and those are so neat.
I mean, I would really like to do those
I've seen some,
and there, there, they,
I suspect they're fairly simple, because the one lady I've seen, I know that does it, I've never asked her any questions,
but she has three kids all ... |
I was just.
There's bound to be some kind of fabric stiffener like that that's very similar that's not going to melt too much with, uh, uh, high humidity, in a room,
Yeah.
That's I think that's what my concern was, was it really sure, and how they would, how they would last.
Do you know what my concern is?
How will I d... |
So first thing I think of is how easy would this, thing be to clean.
That's funny
No,
I do some,
I have really gotten out of it.
I don't do it quite as much as I used to. Um, I guess because I, I went back to school,
so I don't have as much time.
Oh, you don't have time.
No,
and I have two children also
You definitely ... |
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
And so I end up lots of time not doing anything at all.
I know,
I started a project, it's been over a year ago that I swore I was going to finish for somebody for Christmas.
You just didn't say which Christmas, right
That's what I keep telling this person,
well, I didn't tell you what year as if talking... |
it's counted cross stitch, actually, is what I'm doing,
and so it's really, since it's counted, you know, it's really a lot of work.
Yes.
Yes,
I do know.
Yeah.
I have done a little bit of that,
but I decided that that's something that demands my my, my total attention.
Uh-huh.
And so I've got to have total, almost tota... |
but it just may not of the original,
obviously not of the original time schedule.
No,
that's true.
I, I just don't know when I'm ever,
it just seems like there's just never enough time to pick it up and do it,
you know, it's just really hard.
But I really do
like I said I really enjoy it when I do.
It's just hard.
Just... |
I have several pattern books,
and I just go with those.
Okay.
And then I buy the bibs separate.
Usually I think it's a little bit cheaper in the long run,
and then I just use whatever colors I want to.
I don't usually use the colors they tell me to.
Um.
And it, it depends on what it is, you know.
But some things, espec... |
What. With ink?
Uh-huh.
Oh, okay.
And then, see I didn't cross stitch the actual thumb print,
you know, that was just the ink,
and then I made the ears and little eyes and nose and mouth.
That was so simple
Oh, that sounds really neat.
It didn't take anything at all.
Did you do, did you use, like, uh, a stamp pad and i... |
That's right.
Yeah,
but my preference is the one we saw before that was SILENCE OF THE LAMBS.
I haven't seen that one yet.
That's an excellent movie.
Um, the last movie I saw was, uh, SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMY.
Oh, was that good.
I heard,
Uh, see, I'm not a big Julie Roberts fan.
Oh, okay.
But I was a lot, I was a lot mo... |
Right.
You know, it's, uh, it looks good, you know if you like thrillers, anyway.
Yeah,
it is.
Right.
And I do.
In fact, people I've talked to said that they hadn't slept real good for a while afterwards.
So
Really.
Oh, I love them like that.
Yeah.
I'm not,
I mean, I, I like all ranges of movies,
but I like that where ... |
Oh.
Other than the,
I assume you were talking about the new NINJA TURTLES.
Yes,
the new one, of course
Is that any good,
I mean, I'm sure I'm going to be seeing it because in a week to Amarillo where my sister lives, and she's got two boys that I took to see the first one.
Oh drawn
So I'm sure I'm going to see the next... |
You know what I mean.
It wasn't,
my daughter's five,
I mean she understood everything.
She goes to almost all movies with us except, you know, R rated.
And she really enjoyed it,
but it was on a higher level, you know, where there were some things that kids didn't understand that adults did,
and I liked that.
Yeah,
I t... |
Uh-huh.
So, if and when we ever get a baby-sitter, like we did with SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, we go see it.
I's about to say, you're not going to take her to that one, I'm sure.
Oh, no,
no.
Do you take her, or do you go to a lot of comedy movies
or to,
Yeah,
yeah.
What was the last comedy you saw?
of to Oh gosh what was th... |
I said that wrong,
the last movie I saw was THE HARD WAY with Michael J. Fox.
But that, that sounds good.
Well, that really wasn't too bad.
There were,
you know, he's supposed,
you know, he's this actor, right
Uh-huh.
and he's playing a cop.
Right.
Or he's hanging around with a cop trying to pick up the stuff.
I think ... |
Right.
And, uh, I thought he did such an excellent job of not going that far.
Yeah,
Now, by the end he was looking more like a cop. But at the beginning of the movie and all through the middle part, you know, he was trying to, trying to get it,
Right.
but he wasn't there yet.
Right.
And you could tell it,
and I guess t... |
but I took a date to it, uh, about a month ago.
So, I, I, I've seen it the second time not too long ago.
So.
It was really cute.
I really enjoyed it.
Of course, the bad thing about it was, uh, the second time I saw it, I didn't really enjoy it as much,
and I was kind of surprised at that.
I thought that would be one of... |
Maybe so,
maybe so.
Yeah,
I mean, it was, it was a great movie though.
I loved the movie.
Yeah,
I did, too.
I'm looking forward to this summer, uh, NAKED GUN TWO AND A HALF is coming out.
I love those movies.
I do too.
I mean, they are just slapstick drawn out for
Oh, yeah.
It,
you have to see those twice to catch ever... |
I do too.
I love those movies
I do too.
I really do.
So I'm looking forward to seeing that because that looks hilarious, as they all do.
Yeah.
Oh yeah.
Well, we we try to go a couple times a month, I guess to see a movie.
Uh-huh.
It, it's just getting so expensive.
Oh, isn't it though.
You know, but that's at least the... |
And then if you want popcorn and stuff
Yeah.
I don't understand why they charge you out the kazoo for both.
You know popcorn is not that expensive.
No,
nowhere near that expensive.
So they get you at the ticket booth and then try and get you at the popcorn and coke.
And, it, it's just the idea that these, uh, these act... |
No,
don't.
No,
really?
Don't.
That needs the big screen.
Oh.
It really and truly does, because to get the feeling of like when the buffalos are, when they're chasing the buffalos and everything you've got to be where you feel it.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
Oh really?
You really truly do.
Oh.
I would,
I mean, I guess my first inst... |
I mean, I have absolutely no problems with them winning seven Oscars.
None at all.
Right.
Normally I'm one of these people that I don't like one, one movie taking all the honors.
yeah,
yeah.
I wanted him to win best actor on top of it,
he was,
Yeah, oh.
Like I said, I wouldn't given the supporting actresses either one.... |
They shouldn't have done it.
Yeah.
Now the best,
the supporting actor, he was good,
but from what I heard, the guy who got it was better,
so I, you know, I can see that.
Yeah.
But, oh,
You think my daughter would like it?
Oh, well there are, there is one spot that was just a little bit on the gory side.
Oh, okay.
But, ... |
and I know they're fake.
and, well, yeah,
that, and plus, I mean part of it is the idea that he goes with them on a buffalo hunt.
So, I mean, they are killing buffalos in it.
But they don't stress that very much,
they really don't.
Okay,
okay.
And I think it's an excellent movie for,
if, if she enjoys movies I think it... |
that's true,
they said,
I hadn't even thought of that.
Yeah,
they said there's a lot that had been edited, because of the length and that they wanted in,
Uh-huh.
so they're going to put it in the video.
Yeah.
And that way you can watch it at your leisure.
Well, yeah,
I kind of like it when they do that, because the vid... |
I know it
Isn't that ridiculous.
We have cable which helps a lot
Oh, I do too.
Yeah,
but not enough.
Yeah,
we keep holding out, you know.
Yeah
I'm getting to the point where, you know, I watch, well I watch NICK AT NIGHT.
Okay,
do you have
Are you there?
Yeah.
Okay
There, okay.
Okay.
Had to mess with my phone here.
Um,... |
I have one.
Oh, okay.
How about you?
I have three.
Oh, my goodness
Yeah
Yeah,
uh, do you work?
Yeah,
I do.
Okay.
I do,
I work
and, and, uh, Brian's in a day care center.
He's uh, he was two in December,
Oh.
so he's not quite two and a half yet.
Uh-huh.
He,
uh, I put him,
|
I'm kind of had different, different ideas from what probably the majority of people have,
Uh-huh.
I put him in a day care center from the very beginning.
He started in day care when he was eight weeks old.
Oh, no kidding.
And I just,
I don't know,
I have kind of the opposite opinion of most people,
Really.
I have had ... |
yeah.
Uh-huh.
Because there's,
You know, how can you help depending on the day care center, you know,
Yeah.
you got to when you hear about all the horrible things that happen in day care centers,
have you ever noticed they're always like a family owned center where the mother and the daughter and the son run it, you kn... |
but,
Right.
Right.
Well he was in, he was in the same center for two years, for the first two years,
Uh-huh.
and, uh, it was wonderful,
and I loved it,
and I was so happy there
and the woman who owned it sold it.
Oh, gosh.
But, I thought okay, I'm going to keep an open mind here,
Right.
and the people who came in, it j... |
but. but, he's done well,
Was it?
Yeah.
he's been there, a couple of months now,
Good.
and I just feel so lucky.
Oh, good.
Yeah.
That's great,
that's good.
How about you?
Do you work
or do you get to stay home with them?
Well, I got to stay home with my kids for the first ten years.
My oldest one is ten and a half now... |
But, I,
that's what I wanted to, because I, uh, you know I just couldn't wait to have kids
and so, if I was,
I was so anxious to have them
and I couldn't wait to have them it would be kind of silly, you know, to go back to work as soon as I had them,
so,
Right.
Right.
so, it, it, it, it was really great.
By the end of ... |
Yeah.
Yeah,
so, I felt real good about that,
but, uh, boy, I tell you with summer coming up I'm just pulling my hair out, in terms of what I'm going to do,
I, I guess I, went back to work about a year and a half ago
and, uh, I worked full time all last year
and now I'm going to school part time and, uh, graduate school... |
we sent them to camp.
One,
first month, in June, they went to summer school, then the second month they,
uh, one,
my daughter went home to visit my Mom for a while and my son, uh, went to camp
and there we had, uh, I don't know some,
forget what else we did
but it was all, uh, really expensive
Yeah,
that stuff is expen... |
yeah.
I was going to say they're getting to the age where, you should be able to trust that a little bit,
Right.
yeah.
Yeah.
Yes,
in fact I'm doing that right now with their afternoons, when they get home before I do. You know,
that's okay.
But, the four year old now I I have had her since I went back to work, or befor... |
so, the, the person we found it through the,
there's an association here in town of professional home, care providers or something like that.
Where do, where do you live?
In Plano.
Plano?
Yeah,
and they have a number you can call
and all these people are registered with their association
and, you know, go like our, our... |
That's great.
And, she's just great.
In fact, uh, she's all upset because Galen is going to go to kindergarten next fall
and she says this is it,
you know, I'm not going to have her anymore
and I said, Oh, no, don't count on that
After noon classes she's going to be here because she's going to morning kindergarten.
Rig... |
Uh-huh.
so there is like a hundred and twenty second graders in the same area with no walls.
Oh.
And, uh, and then he'd get on the Amrein's Bus to go to Amrein's
and then there would be a whole ton of other kids, all in the same room, you know,
Yeah.
you know what fun they had with these computer games
and then they'd ... |
we all need that time, just some quiet time to wind down from the day.
Yeah.
Right.
That's exactly it.
So, another thing that we tried to do,
I, I know your son's too young right now,
but we're trying, we tried to sign him up for after school scouts and, stuff like that
Yeah,
yeah.
and,
I think that's really important,... |
And,
I mean, he's, he's so much fun now,
Yeah.
he's really, he's really starting to get lots of fun
and I can't wait until stuff like that starts happening
I bet,
yeah.
you know, and, you know, we did the Easter egg hunts, which was really the first year he was really able to
Uh-huh.
understand.
and to know what we kno... |
Oh, that's great.
I bought us tickets and stood there in line
and I thought, I'm going to end up on this elephant with him you know,
He did it by himself,
Well, good for him.
so stuff like that is starting to come along where it's really, getting fun, you know.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
Day care has just done just incredi... |
so, you know. Yeah,
this, this day care is, is,
Uh-huh.
it's Bright Steps in Lewisville.
And,
Uh-huh.
whenever you say Bright Steps, everybody goes, oh, I've heard that's the best day care in town, you know,
Yeah?
Good.
and it's, it's one of those that's very hard to get into.
Uh-huh.
and they have, this, this, this wo... |
so its,
She knows something right, that she
and,
She knows what she's doing,
all the teachers, like about half the teachers are degreed teachers.
Yeah,
that makes such a difference.
Oh, it makes a huge difference.
That's the way it is at my daughter's nursery school too.
Uh-huh.
And I think that really makes a differen... |
but the people that she got were there because they weren't qualified to do anything else you know.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
Right.
And, and I got lucky
and all of his teachers were, very good.
Because, because,
Right.
Some, sometimes that's fine,
that's great, you know.
Yeah,
but then sometimes, you know,
Sometimes it isn't.
Y... |
Wow.
It's a little high,
Yeah.
but, but it's, you know, it's like where he was before I was only paying sixty three,
so there's quite a little jump there,
Right.
Right.
but, I looked all over Lewisville,
I looked in every day care there was in Lewisville,
Uh-huh.
and, you know, and there were places that were cheaper,
... |
See, we do the same thing,
since Galen goes to nursery school, we pay our, our home care provider, for our day care provider, full time for a whole week,
but she, she's gone three mornings.
Galen just doesn't go there three mornings a week.
Yeah,
yeah.
But, I said to her, I said, you know, it doesn't matter if for what... |
And, what they did, they had, uh, a book made up
and it was like, when our ancestors first came over.
Oh.
No kidding.
And, then what they did was they asked every family to write something about their family. And, like, how many kids you had, and who you had married,
Huh.
and, you know, it went through like,
and it sho... |
Uh-huh.
and then you could get it at the reunion.
Right.
And, everybody got a book, that came to the reunion.
Oh, nice.
And, it told like, uh, you know, where the first Connallys came over,
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
and, um, it told what happened when they got there and how many kids they had
and it just kept coming on up throu... |
But, uh, he has enough relatives to make up for me not having any
That's kind of how my husband and I are.
I have a kind of a big family
and he just has himself and his brother and his parents,
Uh-huh.
and that's it.
So, he had to kind of get used to us when we first started going together.
Yeah.
That's what, that's wh... |
Oh, my gosh.
and I kept thinking, this guy is putting me on.
Nobody has this many relatives, you know
Yeah.
So, but, they really were all there.
How funny.
And, another thing that's really good about, uh, family reunions, is having everybody just cook whatever is their specialty, and bring it. At, because nobody it s... |
So, did people come like from out of town to the reunion
or,
Oh, yeah.
Yeah,
They did.
they came from all over.
Did you put them up in other people's houses
or did you have hotel rooms,
or, how did you do it?
Um, they just stayed with different ones of them.
They did.
Uh-huh.
They just came down and like say, okay, thi... |
And they just brought food with them?
Uh-huh.
Did they just have like over a weekend?
Is that how they did it?
Yeah.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
Well, I'm real curious because my family,
it didn't sound,
I don't think my family is as big as your husband's.
I don't think we'd need a whole church,
but, um, the problem is we are all ... |
Uh-huh.
They have these places where you can rent them
and it, you know, like on a lake,
Uh-huh.
like, uh, it's a big place,
I mean, you know, it's got little rooms that separate off of it and stuff,
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
and, it's not very expensive that way.
Oh, you mean
so,
oh, I see,
so everybody could stay together?
Rig... |
But, then it has like a kitchenette and things like that
but you,
See, that would be great because then you could spend so much more time together, than if you all were in your own hotels or something.
Right.
And another,
And then, every time you wanted to go eat with somebody, you'd probably have to go to out, eat or ... |
Uh-huh.
You get a,
Yeah.
calling different places can really run you up a bill.
Yeah.
But, if you can find a centrally located place where everybody would have to come about the same distance,
I mean, you can't get it exact, you know, usually,
Oh, yeah.
but, uh, and then everybody goes to that place.
And that is not ba... |
That would be really nice
Yeah.
But, that's, uh, you know, that's the best way I found, because whenever you have, something where you go and,
Yeah.
That sounds good.
now we had one,
this was before I lost a lot more of my family,
but it wasn't any of my immediate family anyway. Because I didn't have any of them left.... |
yeah,
Yeah.
And, it just,
I didn't like that much.
Well, um, did you,
was it hard to decide who to invite and who not to invite.
I mean, did you have to draw a line,
or did the people that had that reunion have to draw a line?
No.
Like, they just
whoever wanted to come.
What they did was, Well, see what they did was, o... |
Uh-huh.
and, you know, they told them that what we had to do was when we sent back in our information, we had to tell them how many people were going to be coming, you know.
Yeah.
Right.
And then, when they, when they talked to us or when they sent us the letter, it, uh, you know, to get the information and all, it ask... |
But how about like because of divorce and stuff like that?
Like my parents are divorced,
Okay well,
and they are both remarried
and, you know, there, I mean, there's,
I don't know.
Well, see, then
okay,
if you wanted them both to come, then you would put, you would have put that down on the list
Yeah.
and you would hav... |
Yeah.
Okay,
it was up to me, who I was going to, you know, whether I wanted my kids and, you know, my, any of my family to come.
Uh-huh.
Right.
Right.
I see.
So,
I see,
that's a pretty good idea to do it that way.
And then, you know, it never did,
like if I didn't want somebody to come, then I just wouldn't send them o... |
but, I tell you what, that's the neatest book we've got,
I bet.
course we've got, we've still got it
and they charged us, I think it was like, it was like five or six dollars, I can't remember exactly, you know, that we paid for the book to be printed.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
Yeah.
and it's not, uh, it's not a hard back book, i... |
I don't know if you're like me,
but I know very little about before my grandparents.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
I mean, very, very little about it.
I just,
the thing is I know a lot of stories,
but I can't remember who it was about.
My grandparents told us when I was growing up and even when I was an adult
they still tell all kin... |
Yeah
Okay.
All right.
What, uh, what kind of camping is there in Texas?
Well, there, there are quite a few, um, parks, I guess, state parks,
and there's a couple of national parks, I guess, that you can camp at.
Uh-huh.
Um, most of them have pretty good facilities.
I don't know if the camping that I've done is really r... |
part of them are.
Yeah,
so, that's probably a pretty nice place to go
Yeah,
they've got, uh, real nice lake system, and, around their parks.
One of them, uh, the gray , I think that's one of the ones we've been to, it's real nice there, a bunch of lakes around it,
there's a golf course and, um, just a whole bunch of ca... |
so, I went out and bought a whole bunch of camping gear
and, uh, you know, I still do it once in a while.
Yeah,
I think we've collected stuff off and on over the years.
The more times we did it, the more serious we get about it.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
Where, where is Raleigh, in North Carolina?
Uh, well, it's, it's, uh, in term... |
but then you're talking about six to eight hours.
Yeah.
The way it works.
But, um, it's a real, it's a real nice place to go and camp,
and there's some pretty decent campgrounds although , I don't think Raleigh, I don't think the state of North Carolina takes,
they probably just don't spend as much money as a lot of ot... |
Uh-huh.
and, uh, it's, it's just kind of nice.
I like the, uh,
I think the desert has a rare kind of beauty which, uh, a lot of people don't realize,
you know, they hear desert
and they think of scorpions and snakes and sand and being real dry, and lack of water,
course it, it has all of those qualities
but it also has... |
or the, the,
They can be,
yeah.
I mean, you got to, you sort of have to choose your season carefully and know what's going to happen.
Uh-huh.
I've been camping in Death Valley,
one doesn't go in July
Yeah,
true.
But it's beautiful in February.
Yeah.
I mean, it's just beautiful.
The days, get up into the high eighties, ... |
I don't know, don't know when I'm going to get a chance to do that
but,
Yeah.
Well, that would be, that would be pretty nice.
I've been, I have been camping on the south rim the Grand Canyon.
That's okay.
A lot of people like to go down and camp down inside,
I was just too lazy that trip to do all that walking, especia... |
yeah,
it really is.
I mean, I don't think I ever see the Little Dipper,
you hear people talk about the Little Dipper.
Huh Uh-huh.
But I don't think I ever see it except when I go get out of the city and go camping in the desert or in, in the mountains.
Otherwise it's just too faint
Well, I guess we've talked as much as... |
Uh-huh.
Um, I lived in Massachusetts for two years
and they have a total ban on guns
and I saw that, it didn't stop crime in that state.
Now was that just on handguns or was that on rifles?
Any, any kind of firearms.
Really?
Yeah.
Uh, it's,
there's was a mandatory jail sentence if you were caught, um, with a firearm
an... |
I usually just,
I'm trying to think of,
I guess I would tend myself to be more towards the, the, like three, where I don't think you should necessarily ban guns any, by any means,
Uh-huh.
but you should definitely have the character search and the seven day holding period and things along that nature, uh,
you know, you... |
I guess I have never heard of a, a robbery being foiled or spoiled because the person who's being robbed had a gun.
Um, I,
And maybe they just don't report those
or I'm not sure
or, you know, I can't think of ever hearing on the news or whatnot or hearing or knowing anybody who was being robbed
but good thing they had ... |
Uh, nobody in my family hunted,
uh, my father had, had guns when I was in high school because he got them from a friend who lived in Massachusetts
We lived in New Hampshire at the time.
How about that.
And he lived in Massachusetts and had to get rid of all his guns,
Huh.
so we ended up, uh, with these guns,
Uh-huh.
an... |
But just by the mere fact of outlawing handguns, would make it so that it would be not as conspicuous,
you couldn't be inconspicuous, when you walked into a store stuff like that,
Yeah.
you could see someone coming or dressed inappropriately, you know,
if they had to have a rifle or was,
you know, made it more difficul... |
and I, I know this may sound kind of stereo typical
but the cowboys with the gun racks in the back of their trucks. That's kind of scary to me
Oh, sure.
that kind of, to me it is more like vigilantism .
Uh-huh.
You know, and it kind of scares me especially with all the shootings that have been going on, in L A, on the ... |
bye-bye.
There we go.
Right.
Well, actually I'm a, I'm a Dodgers fan from way back.
Oh
Um,
how way back, I mean
Like, um, late fifties, early sixties.
Okay
so Wally Moon moon shots and all that.
What's that?
Yeah,
coliseum, Wally Moon and all that.
Yeah.
Okay,
yeah,
it's a, um,
I, I'm living in, just west of Baltimore,... |
Yeah,
so he's still kicking around.
That's interesting.
Yeah,
I, I also lived eight years in Ohio before going to, uh, going away to college,
and I used to go watch the Toledo Mudhens.
Oh, I saw them,
um, um, I was out there last Summer,
and I saw a game at Ned Skelton.
Is that the stadium?
Uh, I couldn't tell you for ... |
I think that's right.
Okay,
yeah,
so had a lot of fun
actually, I mean, I like minor league baseball, a lot.
It's cheaper for one thing
Well, that's true.
I think, I've kind of become a Rangers fan over the last eleven years since I've been here.
Uh, they've led the American league in batting, fielding and pitching,
bu... |
Why get rid of him now?
Really, I mean, he really has become a, a very decent fielder.
Oh, yes.
Okay.
He's not a, the liability that he was, that he used to be.
Oh, okay.
Um.
Oh, he fits right in with Texas bunch of guys, I mean with Detroit, bunch of guys that hit home runs and strike out a lot.
Yeah,
of course, get a... |
I think the pitching's deep enough that it doesn't matter.
It may be.
I, I like them a lot.
I think they're going to go all the way.
Um, and, and, I mean, by saying I like them, I like their chances.
I, I actually don't like the Dodgers,
I'm a Giants fan from way back.
Right,
right.
Well, picking up Darrell Strawberry ... |
Yes he is.
Okay,
you know, he .
Yes.
And, uh, that guy , the short stop, is going to be good.
Yeah.
Um.
Well it should be an interesting year.
Yeah,
I'm looking,
I've already been to one game,
and I should have been to two
but,
Are you an Orioles fan?
Um, the, the team I live and die with actually is the Red Sox, mostl... |
you know, I kind of wish that they had inter league play, like they do in all the other sports so I could see some of the National League teams here once in a while.
How far is Houston?
Uh, three hundred miles.
Oh, okay,
keep forgetting how big states are out there sometimes.
Yeah,
it is, it's incredible.
Yeah,
I, um,
... |
hope I'm going to do it this year because, um, uh, having a kid this fall,
so it's like so much for going to lots of baseball games.
All right.
So, so do it while you can.
Yeah,
seriously.
Sure.
Well, it's been good talking with you.
Yeah,
good talking with you.
And, and you'll be happy I think in October when the Dodg... |
Bye.
Do you want to start?
Yeah,
I'm trying to think what I've seen lately.
I
well we just finished watching, uh, TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES on tape, you know
Did you watch DANCES WITH WOLVES,
did you see the movie?
Yeah,
we, we've seen that,
yeah.
Did you like it?
Yeah,
it was great,
have you seen it?
I thought it w... |
but, you know, I didn't think it was as good as all the, uh, hype was about it.
Right,
I feel the same way about that too.
It was okay.
Yeah,
I
I, I couldn't see it worth getting a nomination for, uh, best picture.
No,
no.
And, uh,
let's see, uh,
the most recent ones that I've seen are those two, GHOST and, uh, DANCES ... |
I'd like to see those,
I keep, you know, um, you know, there's like three movies that I, I keep telling myself that I should see one of these, you know, some day that I haven't seen, you know, that, that are classics, you know.
Because I've never seen CITIZEN KANE,
Yeah,
that was good.
and never seen, I've never seen C... |
it's true.
But, um, I
one of the movies we saw recently, we saw, uh, MISERY.
Oh, I didn't see that one.
That was good, um,
Really.
oh, it was great.
And it,
you think, you know, for a Stephen, you know, it because it was by Stephen King it would be really gory
but there's only one,
well there's a couple scenes, at, at ... |
he's a writer
and, um, she's his biggest fan
and she's also a little, a little on the nutso side.
Yeah,
right.
Uh-huh.
Did you see PACIFIC HEIGHTS?
No,
we haven't, um,
I saw that one,
that one wasn't that great either.
Oh, it wasn't?
Well I didn't think so,
no.
I, I got,
I heard like mixed reviews, um, of that,
we
How... |
I, I wanted to see,
I, I was curious if you had seen it
and that, uh,
our big thing is, um,
you know, movie prices up here
I think it's like six bucks now in the theaters,
Yeah.
you know. So it's like,
you know, a lot of things we try to catch like at the dollar theater or matinees
and then a lot of other stuff we just... |
Oh, it was great
Really.
Yeah
it was,
I thought it was kind of maybe for kids more, than
No,
no,
it's, um, it's an odd film
and it's really interesting that,
I like the director a lot, um, a guy named Tim Burton.
Uh-huh.
Did you ever see the movie BEETLEJUICE?
Uh, part of it,
I, I never really watched the whole thing.... |
Yeah,
it's, um,
Burton's kind of, uh,
he's, a very odd, odd man
but he's,
I think he's very interesting
and, uh, I liked those two movies of his a lot.
Uh-huh.
He did BATMAN also, which, you know
Yeah,
that was pretty good, though, really.
It was good,
but I mean, he was, um,
When you think of what it takes to make som... |
Whose your favorite actress or actor?
Um, don't really know,
I like Costner a lot
but, uh, I'm a big, I'm a big baseball fan
Uh-huh.
so, you know, after BULL DURHAM and FIELD OF DREAMS, you know,
Yeah.
Um, although, you know,
That was good,
I saw that movie too.
That was very good.
Which one?
FIELD OF DREAMS.
Yeah,
