Well, yeah, I think a lot of people were, uh, leaving Michigan all about the time I came here in the early eighties and it seemed like it was almost a mass exodus. Oh, yeah. You know, the, the little joke about, will the last person leaving Michigan just turn out the light Oh, well, it's a nice place, you know, I mean ...
and, uh, in the winter time the lakes froze over, you could still kind of go sledding and such out there but I thought it was just really neat to be out there on all those lakes. There's lots of really small ones out there. Yeah. You know, like maybe a mile, two long. Yeah. That's enough to, uh, do some boating That's ...
and, of course, it was, you know, a little more expensive to live on the lake, but I just thought that was grand. And I think a lot of people didn't really know that there were all those lakes out there unless you were from that area and kind of spotted them, but there was quite a few lakes all around there. It seemed ...
right in the summertime they have musicals there and in the winter time they make snow and have a ski slope. That's right, that's right. I know, we used to, we, we didn't do a lot of it, but we did. We did, Yeah, yeah. so those are always fun. And Alpine, was it Alpine was another ski slope that we went to, It was nice...
but then it chipped, chipped and, you know, it would melt or whatever and get pretty uneven so, Yeah, yeah. We used to have a Christmas time, uh, some of our relatives would come up from Alabama, and I think most times we would have snow around Christmas and the kids when they were young would just go nuts. Yeah. You k...
It lasted only a few hours, like by noon it was gone. Yeah. Yeah. And I remember getting up and somebody telling me, hey, better wait to go to work because the roads are all, you know, snow And I was laughing, going yeah, right, that's a good practical joke, ha ha. They said, no really, there's snow and there was, but ...
our house is kind of on a little hill, so, uh, we get the sled out and, uh, the kids go down the the hill on the sleds when it's icy, I mean they just go down the ice. Yeah. And if it's cold, we say, okay, out you go. I think we must be the only people on the block that make use of that cold weather and get out there. ...
Uh, we saw, I have two little babies and we saw one movie recently and that was THE TERMINATOR movie, uh, which I didn't like after all . Uh-huh. Yeah, now I I haven't seen THE TERMINATOR movie, but, and that's kind of blood and guts, isn't it. I don't particularly care for that sort of stuff. Well, I don't either. It,...
He, he, uh, I think he shoots off their knee caps for the most part. In the movie. Yeah. Uh-huh. So. I, I saw, uh, SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMY. Uh, Uh, I saw it, uh, Oh, I haven't seen that one yet. oh, couple weeks ago I rented it and, uh, watched it and I was, I was pretty disappointed in it because I, I was told by seve...
I, I want to see, uh, DANCES WITH WOLVES. Uh-huh. But, we haven't seen that one yet, either. Yeah. Now I haven't seen it either, but, uh, I've heard that it's real long. That it's a good movie, but it's long, like three hours. Yeah, that's what I heard, too. Yeah, we've got to get it at a time when we can put our kids ...
Did she? Yeah Well, it was, it was an amusing movie. Uh-huh. It I guess maybe it would have been better if we'd have been at the theater as opposed to, uh, just at the house watching it with, with no one else around. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. So, And, of course, I get to watch all these movies like LOOK WHO'S TALKING and WHO'S, ...
Uh-huh. And there's some, I think there's some good Disney movies fixing to come out on video, uh, SHIPWRECKED. Oh, I haven't, I didn't hear that was coming out. Uh-huh. Yeah, it's fixing to come out on video and, boy, I can't think of the other one that's fixing to come out. Well, they just had uh, THE RESCUERS movie ...
Yeah. and, uh, there's so much out on video now, that it's almost, you know, the movie comes out quicker than you can go see it. Sometimes. Uh-huh. And then they go to the dollar movies. So. Uh-huh That seems to happen. I noticed that DANCES WITH WOLVES was playing at the, uh, Granada Theater. Uh-huh. And, uh, someone ...
I, I know we get discount tickets where my husband works, Uh-huh. but, other than that it just seems like it's so expensive. And then the popcorn and everything else, you almost can't afford to do it. No matter what. That's right. Although we did actually get, we went on vacation couple months ago, and we got to go see...
Uh-huh, uh-huh the house explodes? Uh-huh. Oh, okay. Yeah, that's the one. Okay, yeah. Another movie that I want to see if it ever comes out on video so I can see it without my daughter around is, uh, oh, I just forgot the title of it. Uh Oh, it's supposed to be a real scary one Uh, darn, well, here, here's another one...
We sent my grandfather to a nursing home at the point when he was really incapable of caring for himself anymore. Uh-huh. He actually died a few months after that, and so as, at least in retrospect, it was the right thing to do because he was either in a nursing home or a hospital or something else that he would have b...
Right. Uh, what do you think? My grandmother lived with us, um, until August, um, and we made the decision to put her in a nursing home. She has leukemia Uh-huh. and her, the rest of her family and her regular doctors and everybody she trusted and knew was in Dayton, and were several thousand miles away Yeah. so I made...
So, she's been there since August the thirteenth and seems to have adjusted pretty well. It's not her favorite place to be in. She'd much rather be here with me. But when it got to the point I was spending more time at the hospital with her, Yeah. and I've got little children here who needed me here she needed somebody...
Yeah. but he was living alone, had an upstairs apartment, could barely make it up the steps to the top without a great deal of pain, Oh. and this, eventually things just went too far Yeah. and he allowed himself to be put into a nursing home. Yes, well, I think sometimes when people get to be a certain age, other peopl...
and I know she's eating the right things, and her doctor's right there where he can come in and check on her, so. It became dangerous for us to keep transporting her back and forth in the car because she was so wobbly and needed a walker or a wheel chair Yep. so, I think she'll adjust, Okay, while I was waiting for you...
uh-huh. Then I have some from like church that are more family recipes that are more useful You know, budget cookbooks, Uh-huh. but and, of course, you get a lot from when you're growing up. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Um, I cook a lot the same as, as my mom did, of course I've added several different recipes, Right. but, what you...
it's a good reference when you need to dig something up. Uh-huh. What we've found very useful is a book called THE THIRTY MINUTE COOKBOOK, I think that's the title, by Marion Burroughs Huh. uh, which has recipes which allegedly can all be prepared in thirty minutes, you know, the whole meal Yeah and so she's that would...
Uh-huh. Wow, sounds too good. Uh, and that, and that was, you know, that's, that, that's certain you can do in thirty minutes. Yeah. But there are a whole lot of, you know, I mean, I, I would recommend you look at that book if you're a busy person. Yeah, that THIRTY MINUTE COOKBOOK. THIRTY MINUTE COOKBOOK. That sounds ...
That's why sometimes I shy away from, uh, more of a traditional cookbook Uh-huh. but, well, it was interesting talking to you. It's a fun subject. Food is one of my favorite things too. Yes. Anything else you wanted to add? Well, you had said dinner, you know, you know, what would I put together for a formal dinner. We...
there's a little bit of brown sugar in there, and it bakes up and it's a delicious thing, and it's easy That sounds good. comparatively. Um. I'm sorry, That sounds really good. I just love It sounds like you guys are a little more gourmet than I am, I'm pretty simple right now, but. Well, maybe a little more leisure ti...
Yeah. Well, there again, sometimes it was easy, they'd, you know, canned ravioli was, one of their favorites, and so it was easy to open a can of ravioli. Yeah. Spaghetti's a pretty staple every other week or so Yes. and it goes a long ways too. All righty. Well, nice talking to you Cheryl. Okay. Talk to you later mayb...
Okay. And I spend most of my time carpooling Oh The story of my life Yes Yes. Yeah. My kids are involved in sports. My daughter has played basketball for six years, and my son plays football. I, my rule is that they can't play a sport the same time of the year because there's just not enough of me to drive them around ...
for one thing. Uh, but yeah, we, uh, we do but our two had, had, uh, totally different interests of, but there was not much, uh, overlap as such. The, the older one is not, was not at all into, uh, sports for the most part. Uh, he participated band and, and, uh, scouts were his two big things. Yes. My son, is in both b...
Uh, we had a, at a fairly young age we started teaching them to play games and card games and so forth. And, and, uh, uh, but we didn't, uh, do it as much or as often as, uh, I would have liked to. I would like to do that as a, as a family and, and some T V watching. Yeah. What about you? We found this Oriental tile ga...
And it's a game that none of their friends know how to play, and they both enjoy it. So if they want to play, they have to play with mom and dad. Yeah. So, uh, we play that a lot of them, and, uh, we like to go miniature golfing and to movies. Yeah. We have family that lives outside of the state so we go visit both set...
so a lot of times, she and I will travel to writers conferences together. Oh, now that's neat. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, we've never had anything like that. So that gives us special time together too. Yeah. And she's on the yearbook staff and things like that so I can help her with that and she gives me ideas for my writin...
and, uh, you know the whole family was around the, the whole time. And then what my father did was, was, uh, you know, obvious to me and I, I helped out with it. But, uh, although I have brought my boys into to see where I work, it's not that easy, and it's, it's certainly not at all common, and they, they just don't r...
I've been lucky in that respect that I don't, uh, don't travel too much . He's been on temporary duties where he's been gone nine months. Oh. Yes. Yeah. So those are the real killers. If he's just gone, Yes. he's gone three weeks right now and that's, that's mild compare to the big ones, Yeah. so we just, you know. I j...
Well, let's see. So what, So what gets you? As far as I'm , Well, the thing I think that annoys me the most is, I have, I have young children, a baby in the house and, and inevitably as soon as they're asleep, someone calls on the phone trying to sell me something. Uh-huh. And I think that, that is probably the most a...
Your time is, is valuable, Yeah, it's, it's like you say, very annoying and, and, uh, why, why do we let this happen. Oh, I, that's, that's interesting. I the, the market seems to just be growing, too. I, I guess enough people are not speaking out. I'm not speaking out, that's for sure. I just get aggravated about it...
Yeah. It, it seems, it seems to me that we should have the ability to designate with the phone company that we don't want to receive calls like that. *sv Well, that, yeah, that might, And the people making these calls would be obliged to compare the, their lists that they're going to call against this list of people wh...
Right. Oh, boy. Well, I, I do wish that it would stop on my end because it, it seems to happen at the worst possible moments. Yeah. And I, I guess the next one is, is door-to-door solicitors. Uh-huh. I don't mind the children when they're selling things for school. I have kids and, you know, that's just kind of part of...
Yeah. And, uh, I've never quite understood the purpose of that. Yeah, I, uh, Well, I think these people were hired by, from, from different sources. Just Uh, with, you know, and so, therefore, there's no one answer. But, but, yeah sometimes it's a market basically it's a market survey Just a survey. but they never say ...
I've had just a few. Yeah Uh, generally someone's trying to sell me something or, Right, well, and sometimes that's, this is just the lead in to a sales pitch too. Right, right. Other times it's, you know, wasting your time to collect the data they want for their marketing purpose. Right. For which, if they would just ...
and then you, you know, you go down a path Right. uh, and you don't know where it's going to end. In fact, you don't even know what you've eventually, you know, the totality of what you've revealed *sv This isn't, you know, most likely not to, going to be used against you, Yeah. Well, we, That's true. but it could and,...
Well, uh, we live in a, a brick home in far north Dallas and it's, uh, four bedrooms and three and a half baths and swimming pool in the back and, It's about thirty-five hundred square feet. Uh-huh. Well, it sounds like ours are pretty similar. I live in one, I don't have a swimming pool. And mine's about twenty-seven ...
and we subcontracted it out ourselves. We bought the lot and, uh, had an architect draw the plans based on our specifications Oh, really? Uh-huh. and then we subbed it out, so, we've been here a little over six years now. And uh, have really enjoyed it because we built what we wanted to have to live in. Uh-huh. Well, I...
and that's why we decided to build. We looked at things that were already, uh, built Uh-huh. and the garages were always, if the house was large, it seemed like the garages were small even if they were three car garages which is what we have. Well, then, most of them don't have a three car garage. Uh-huh. They're kind ...
Oh, I see. But he likes to have a spot to keep all of his, his piddling things. Uh-huh. Well, that's nice that it's not in your house. It really is. Uh-huh. Because, you know, they have a lot of things of their own, and I, you know, I wouldn't mind having, and I at one time was going to fix up when one of my daughters ...
Uh-huh. and so it seems like it's always used as a bedroom. Uh-huh. Well, I still, all three of my daughters are married, but, I don't know, I just still have need for the four bedrooms just having company from time to time. And some of them coming back home and things, you know. Right. Oh, I understand And we've got g...
my oldest son has been going with the same girl for a while. Uh-huh. He's out of college and has a good job, Uh-huh. so he could afford to get married but, is not engaged yet, Uh-huh. and my daughter's been going with the same boy for a while, but she's still in college and we're just as happy for her to finish her edu...
I can understand. It feels, after they've been here ten minutes, they have already explored the entire house, they know everything. Uh-huh. But, they're fun. So you're all back to the safety catches and the whole nine yards or either watching them every minute. Well, I just watch them. Yeah. I I never did put things up...
Every now and then we have to kind of go and say, now don't bother this you know. Um, uh-huh But, all in all, they mind pretty well. But, I guess most of the what kind of roof does your house have? Here I'm getting off the subject. Well, we have, All right. I've never done it before, so I guess that's all I have to do,...
I think five minutes is the max. Oh, no, I mean, this whole thing, like for two months or something, do you know? Oh, I don't know. Yeah, okay, well back to crime, I guess we're supposed to talk about that. They say what aspect are you worried about, well, I think at this point, I for one am worried about every aspect ...
Have they done that in Garland? No, I, not that I'm aware of. Now, um, I just heard, you know, last week at that one school, they started putting them in because there was that one shooting Right. so, um, Well, we had a vice principal shot at here last year on the, you know, on the school grounds after school. Is that ...
I know, it's, it's, it's getting, it's been out of hand, I think, for a while, and it just continues to get worse. Right, and, you know, we can't really depend on the police to solve all this, they just can't do it. Yeah. I think it goes all the way back to the break up of the family to a certain extent Right. and, uh,...
I think so, and, and then there's a drop in, uh, the training of morals, really, you know. Right, right. These, some of these young kids you read about, just doesn't bother them to kill someone at all Yeah I think I think years past maybe our criminals had a little more morals, you know wouldn't kill somebody in cold b...
You're kidding. No, I'm the one, Himself and her? Yeah, that must have been at least fifty years ago or more, but the point of the story is that, that was so unbelievable a thing in those days that it was in all the papers, all over the country for weeks Oh, wow, I bet. but now, you know, you wouldn't probably read abo...
Uh-huh. Right, lots of their picture and life story and everything. Right, and then you get to their life story, Oh, they came from a broken family Uh-huh. oh this person had mental problems Right. oh duh, duh, duh you know, Right. I know, how we and straighten up all these twisted people before they do something terri...
Uh, I remember seeing that, Remember that? I saw that on Hard Copy Right, right, that's, uh, Yes. My daughter graduated with her from Arlington High School. Is that right? Yeah, can you believe it, that's just, uh, I'm trying to remember, he, um, had her in the car in front of a Taco or something Taco Bueno, right, uh-...
I remember seeing that. Yeah, uh, uh, isn't that weird? Yeah, there's just too many crazy people out there these days. I know, and, uh, the police are not going to do anything until they, they've committed some sort of a crime. You know, he was just begging her on the phone, that's not doing anything. Yeah. And there a...
Yeah. Well, it is fun, what little I do. Of course, I don't, you know, I think when they refer to different kinds of fishing I told my husband last night when I had called and they had, told me that this was a topic, I said, well, I can tell them how to fish with a minnow or how to fish with a worm He said, I don't thi...
Uh-huh. and then I also use spinner baits and plastic worms. Uh-huh. It all depends on what I'm fishing for, and the time of day. Well, it sounds like you do quite a bit of it. I do. Uh, there's a lake like maybe two or three miles from here, and it's very convenient on afternoons when I want to just get away and sit a...
I think the lakes are probably different in Michigan than they are in Texas. The ones around here are so big, that you can fish off the dock Uh-huh. but unless you have a boat you can't really get into the, where they call the good fishing holes, you know. Right. That's the same way here, isn't it? Is it? You have to g...
but we do have a awful lot of snakes in our lakes. Um I would be afraid of that. And I, Well, I can't think of a time that I've been fishing that I haven't run into one or two of them. Do they ever get on your hook? No, we, uh, occasionally I'll catch an eel on a, on a hook, but never the snakes. Uh-huh. They just kind...
Uh-huh. We, uh, saw a large snake right off the dock there at my in-laws' place last year. It was probably four inches in diameter or something like that you know. Great big snake, and it, of course, it scared the women to death, you know, but the men come out and said oh, well, that's only a, a king snake, it won't re...
Well, we have those. I don't Uh-huh. I inevitably, if I enter one of those, I never catch a thing. Oh, no. I just go out there and sit and watch other people do it. Uh-huh. Well that's kind of, we've never entered a tournament or anything. We're not that big into fishing, but I see a lot of people, you know, early in t...
Certainly here they are. But it is, it's very, a very relaxing sport to be able to just be out on the water and looking around. The peace and calmness is really relaxing. Yeah, it's a good thing to take a nice book and sit back and read and fish. Uh-huh. That's what I do a lot. I've never tried taking a book with me. I...
Oh, it was, uh, it was, I'm an officer in the Air Force, Yeah. Oh. Oh. Well, that's interesting. Okay. So our topic is, is food today, is that, Yeah. Okay. If you're having a dinner party, what, what would you serve? Okay, uh, do you want me to go first? Sure. Okay. If I was having a dinner party I would probably, um, ...
and then we'd have, um, like a big Greek tossed salad kind of like a Caesar salad. Uh-huh. And, um, let's see what else. Um, maybe some rolls and, um, I guess some, uh, some rice or something like that. How does that sound? Jeez, well, well, when is the party here? Yeah. Um, yeah, that would take some planning but, I d...
Uh-huh. so, um, when we have friends over I have my oldest kind of baby-sit for the little two younger ones upstairs and, um, usually we just have very plain kind of, you know, interesting, not very interesting meals. Pizza and that all Uh-huh. so once in a while when we do something like that it's kind of fun, but it'...
like that's a little more a casual thing. But in mine the wintertime it's not bad too because then I've got a, a fireplace and a nice, nice house and all that so we, really good place to do entertaining like that. Uh-huh. Oh, that sounds wonderful. I just haven't, uh, really tried a whole lot but, uh I don't know, Uh-h...
Yeah, Oh, I see. it is. It's, And I'm originally from Long Island. Oh, no kidding? Yes, and now where are you in New York? Upstate. Oh, upstate. Rome. In, uh, Griffins Air Force Base. Oh, okay. Oh, okay. Is that where you, you are originally from around there? Oh, okay. and, uh, been all over the place. Oh, wow. That's...
let's see. Um, well, I like to have, um, sometimes when I have a dinner party I'll have, um, everybody bring something, Yeah. and that's real interesting because then you get different, um, different kinds of foods and new recipes and, um, uh, sometimes somebody will be bring something that you really like, Right. and ...
and I, um, since I always make chicken burritos and just take chicken breasts Uh-huh. and you boil them, maybe like four chicken breasts, and you boil them until they are cooked. Maybe like thirty minutes Uh-huh. and then you debone them and, and kind of shred them up into the meat that has gotten cooled and you take, ...
It's not like riding a bicycle. You do tend to, forget. No. Well, I'm one of those rare left-handed golfers. Oh. Yeah. And I do enjoy playing. What is your handicap? Right now it's three. Okay. Uh, I was down at about four or five quite awhile ago. It's probably up there to twenty now if I to start again. Well, if you ...
Uh-huh. But there is usually two or three days in the week that you can get out there and play, and I'm pretty much addicted to golf, so. I get out there one way or the other. Yeah, that's the problem out here with the long layovers with the winter you almost have to relearn every spring to, to get back out. It's a goo...
Yeah, you always work on trying to improve each day and, Yeah, and inevitably one facet of my game isn't working at one time or another. Either I'm not driving very well or I'm not hitting long irons very well or I'm not putting well or, but sometimes it all comes together. Yeah. Yeah, I know what you mean. I, when I u...
Uh-huh. But we, uh, this is a big golf area. Yeah. We have a lot of, uh, I'd say we probably have within fifteen miles, twenty golf communities built around courses that are pretty well designed and then of course, Pine Hurst and we still have the Greensboro Open here every year. Uh-huh. Do you have, uh, long waits, uh...
I, was from the, uh, twin cities area. That's some cold golf too, isn't it? Yeah Are you sure you guys aren't having the bad weather? We have cold. Yeah. Usually January and the first two weeks of February. Well, I wish that's all we had. But, uh, last week we were in the seventies. Something is coming through now so i...
I see. Well, at least it, that doesn't, uh, get in the way of golfing so that No, Get out my orange golf ball and go out. Yeah. Yeah, that's what they do here sometimes. You hear about it where they will take the orange ball out there but, if you got, Okay. So what do you, uh, think is the, uh, the worst culprit for ai...
I, uh, I, it's hard to put the finger on, uh, what's worse, you know, the acid rain situation or the ozone depletion, um, with, uh, your hydrocarbons, uh causing the damage in which, Yeah. Hopefully we're backing off from that a little bit, but I know we haven't cured it yet by a long shot. Well, I notice on one of the...
kind of hard to do anything about that, I guess. I know, uh, in the Twin Cities area, I just moved out of there and was kind of happy I timed it just right, but they had a new policy where in order to get your, uh, your license, uh, your car license, uh, renewed, you had to meet the pollution standards Yeah. and, uh. W...
Yeah. It'd probably be difficult anyway. Yeah. So, although I do what I can to, to cut down pollution, but, uh. I was just reading an article in, uh, MOTHER EARTH NEWS, MOTHER EARTH NEWS magazine Yeah. and, uh, they've got a new, uh, you know a lot of places are burning wood Yeah. a lot, a lot of people are burning woo...
Yeah. and, uh, apparently it sort of feeds itself. The more smoke is produced, you know, after you get to like five hundred degrees, the higher it gets the more complete the combustion is. And it sounds real neat. I haven't seen them priced anywhere yet, but that, that sounds like that might help solve that problem eve...
either in the, in the winter time it, it blows it your way, and in the summer time we probably get yours. Yeah. It comes back. Yeah. I really think, uh, you know, we're doing some, some important things. Education, raising consciousness awareness, uh, I know school kids, I work for the school district here, and, uh, yo...
but, I've been trying all different times, Uh-huh. but I don't get anybody at five thirty, don't get anybody at nine at night so thought, I'll try , Oh, well, I'm at, work and I just happened to walk back into my office. Oh I've been gone for a little while Oh. Well, I go to school so I'm home certain days, Uh-huh. a...
Yeah. It's, it's, uh, well, the first time we were on this it came just about every day. Yeah. I never had to make one. They just always came Yeah. Exactly. People must be tired of it or something. well anyway I guess we're supposed to discuss this, uh, subject, what do you think? Well, I never gave it any thought myse...
Uh-huh. because if they do good work in America they'll probably be sent to a ghetto Uh-huh, uh-huh. And if they were sent to a third world country I couldn't help but wait worried, you know. Yeah, yeah. That, that would be my main objection. I don't think, Uh-huh. I don't know I think maybe it's, it should stay on a v...
I don't, I don't even know how we'd pay for it anyway. We can't, uh seem to pay for all the little things we have going now Uh-huh. Uh-huh. That's another consideration Exactly But, uh, I don't know some kids are so spoiled nowadays it might be a real eye opener, you know Really I mean, sometimes my kids are on the oth...
Wouldn't it though? I mean right next to us is such a pitiful country. Uh-huh, it is. I know. Sometimes I wish we'd help them out instead of going all across the world, and helping some countries I never even heard of. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. I know it. It seems to me we are, it would be to our benefit to strengthen that coun...
Oh, you're in Lewisville. Uh-huh. Oh, yeah. I just went by that place. We were going to a football playoff game a week or so ago which we lost and, uh we went by. That's the first time I'd seen it. It looked really nice. Yeah. A lot of trees there. It looked like a pretty little, a sight. Hang on a minute. Sure. to som...
Well, my husband works at T I over on Central. Oh. Uh, why we're living in Arlington I'm not so sure but, he works over there and we did it last time. Uh-huh. And, uh, so I'm, just my daughter and I are registered this time. I don't know, they didn't even ask him back Really? That was weird, wasn't it? Huh. But like I ...
Right. Like Maryland, and New Jersey, Uh-huh. and but now it just seems like it's in the Dallas Fort Worth area that I get calls from. Yeah, I've had the same experiences, Uh-huh. all right around here. Uh-huh. Yeah, I don't know, uh, I wonder if they really, I don't know if they could possibly teach a machine to reco...
and one of his sisters does things that really sound funny to me and he doesn't pronounce them at all that way, and that's one family, right? Of course, I think everybody in New Jersey sounds a little bit funny but Oh, I agree. You know, how that goes Oh, shoot. Oh, God. Well, I'm surprised she hasn't told us to cut it...
No, no kids Well, is Oh, shoot. Well, uh, I don't know if mine would want to go live in the ghetto. Well, one of them is real idealistic, she might My sister is, I'd be more suited to that than her she's just bugs, Okay, you ready? Yeah, is that it? That's it. Okay, Uh, well, we, I guess we have to talk about magazines...
I do, you know, I enjoy PEOPLE. And now I'm, uh, I, uh, subscribe to, uh, LADIES HOME JOURNAL. I, uh, take a computer magazine. And, uh, also, uh, BETTER HOMES AND GARDENS. Uh-huh. Okay, are you interested in, in computers? And my pet peeve with magazines is all the little cards inside. And the cardboard pages Yeah. Uh...
Well, of course, PEOPLE magazine is not, you know, one of your, uh, your more intellectual magazines, but it's nice, light reading You know, if I want something intellectual, I usually read a book. Well, that's true. I, uh, I like it when they have short stories. Like REDBOOK used to always have a good short story in i...
But, Well, I'll tell you, the only reason I bought the, uh, I subscribe to the JOURNAL is because of, which I think it was either, yeah, it was Publisher's Clearinghouse Right They told me, you know, if I didn't subscribe they were going to take me off their, their winning, you know, their list So, Mine, too This was i...
it just, not enough stories with some substance that you can really get into. Right. It's little short articles more than anything else. Uh-huh. And that's one thing I don't like about PEOPLE. Uh, it 's just, you know, doesn't seem to have enough story to it. Well, I don't know, I just think, uh, you know, it's, It's ...

And, uh, I'm a real movie buff, so that's why I thought I might be interested in it, but it just hasn't been what I though...
and Well, I, I do like recipes and crafts. See, now, and I'm not into crafts, so, you know, that, that eliminates, like three quarters of the magazine You know. That's true. Well, I just got the new issue, they have Bette Midler on the cover, so that should be one article that I'll read anyway Do you, uh, So, how is th...
It's good. Yeah, well the weather, let's see, well, the snow here is different from Utah's, because I have lived in Utah for like ten years. Oh, really? What part? And, uh, Provo.

Okay. Right. Yeah. Okay. And it seems like when the winds blow, it's really, it goes right through you. It's really different from Utah's weather.

I think that's true. Because I, I noticed when I got here, too, because like I'd, when it would snow in Texas uh, I would just, I mean we'd be really cold Uh-huh. and we'd have to get really warm, and here you can almost not even wear a coat outside when it's snowing and you don't you don't feel super cold.
