Well, uh, since, uh, well, I guess since this time last year I've changed, uh, jobs within the firm I'm with Uh-huh. and, uh, I now am learning to be a sys admin on, on, not only P C but, uh, uh, professional work stations as well. Wow. All right. And these are the big mamas, i. e. sons, uh, Hewlett Packards, uh uh, uh...
no. Learning, I'm learning I'm learning to be, uh, one who knows what's he's doing Yes. but, expert, no Oh, well, well. I frown on that, that term because, uh, too many people, you know, uh, misuse the word but my area, my level of expertise is increasing almost daily. Well, that's great, And, uh, yeah, so, I've got a ...
Great. And, uh, We do an awful lot of that, too with ours. You know, some, I, I, I've found that, uh, the more we do with it, uh, it seem, and the Lord's just pleased that we're kind of, this is, this is, part of giving back a portion of what He's given to us. So, uh, I don't mind, because seems like the more we do, th...
you got, that's a Four Eighty-Six processor, too? Uh-huh, uh-huh. Wow Like I said That's, Yes. you have to have that to support UNIX. Uh-huh, of RAM. and then, uh, it, it, it likes to live on about a hundred and fifty megabyte hard drive. Right So the next size up was a Two Hundred and Eleven and so rather than just ha...
Well, good for her T I stuff another So, uh, uh, You say she's a programmer also. Yeah, she's, she's a squirrel for, uh, uh, contractor out at American Airlines. Uh-huh. So, Well, great. Well, she probably needs that kind of a powerful type of a machine to do her work. Okay, you ready to discuss the, the topic? What's ...
Pardon me? I'll let you lead out. Okay, well, there's, uh, it's kind of an interesting topic and one that I think is quite fascinating because, uh, couple of years ago, I guess, uh, not very, not very long ago, seemed like the whole world, not just the United States, but the whole world was kind of in a standstill wher...
Uh-huh. So if you look at Russia and what's happened over there, I think the change in Communism was as a result of the economic problems that they were experiencing. And, of course, I look at the economic problems in the United States right now. One of the things you wonder is what that's going to do to us. True. I th...
That's some, yeah, because a lot of people seem to stagnate once they get into position, they, they're very comfortable, they lose the ability to learn, and they in a sense become unteachable. They think they know all there is to know in the area, set path, and you know, come in and put my time in from nine to five, an...
that's good. There probably needs to be some training on how to, to, to adjust to these changes as they come about. I mean if you look at the, the high unemployment rate right now and you look at people who are in those situations, I don't know that they have good coping skills or a lot of them, even ideas of how to ma...
Yeah. I also think that there are more, um, the people are, women stay single longer it seems like. Yes, they do. Yeah. Yeah, they do. I know my mother and her sister were both married by the time they were twenty Right. and I waited until I was thirty-two, so. Uh-huh, yeah. You know, um, I know that. Yeah, that's true...
Uh-huh. It used to be that our list ran nineteen, twenty, twenty-one for our patients' ages. And now our care plans look more like thirty-two, thirty-three Uh-huh. and if we get somebody twenty-one, we go, oh, look how young. Yeah. So, yeah, you're right there's a big change, and we have a lot of first time moms in the...
Seems like there's. I guess it's a combination. Uh-huh, go ahead. No, go on. Uh, it just seems like there are more single mothers, too. I mean, that's, there're a lot of, either divorced or, um, you know, never been married, Yeah. so. Yeah, yeah, yeah, there's a lot of mixed up families, that's for sure. Yeah, I agree....
the, the role in the family, and the mother doesn't stay home and cook the dinner take care of the children, um, Uh-huh. we do it all Yeah. I really think that, and I know that there's a lot more participation by the fathers, but I still think the mothers have the major role. Uh-huh. I really do. I think they're just, ...
I mean, I, I don't blame anybody when they have to work because, um, yeah. Yeah, it's, it's difficult, and I think that, I live in Plano actually, so Uh-huh. it's a very wealthy town, and we're not part of that, but, it is, you know, and, I think what I see a lot of parents, a lot of mothers working just for bigger and...
and I don't have a choice any more Uh-huh. but I used to just work occasionally for extra money, but now I have to work all the time Uh-huh. and that's really hard Yeah. and, and I don't know how a mother does just choose to go out to work, and, and leave the kids. In a way it's good, it's very good to get out with adu...
Yeah. Yeah, I think it will change, but I'm not sure how it's going to, because you see young people today and wonder how in the world they'll ever afford to buy a home and and to raise a family. Uh-huh. I don't know how they're going to do it. Uh-huh. And so I don't know how it can change to where the mother can get b...
Yeah, it is. I think some, I don't know how many, you know, what percentage, but some are, will move back toward more traditional lifestyle of staying home with the children. I guess I see that happening already. Uh-huh. Some choosing it, and, and they get, you know, there're, people chide them for it, you know, why ar...
Well, okay. I have been to Hawaii. See now, that is where I want to go. That is where I have always wanted to go. I have never been there. It is beautiful. I know. Is it, is it, uh, I had an aunt that lived there and she couldn't stand it any more. She moved out because she said the whole island was, uh, you know being...
it is commercialized. Yeah. Sure. I don't think I have enough, Oahu naturally has got more people on it than the other islands. Uh-huh. But, it is still beautiful. You have got to see at least once. Oh, well I will. You know, eventually So, Well, what is the most, uh, you know the nicest island? Uh, I like Maui. Maui. ...
Yeah. But, uh, Kauai, I mean, the beaches are nice, but I don't know, just not nice as Maui. Yeah. And then, uh, where, where have you been? Well, I have been to California. I've been to San Francisco. Oh you have? I loved it. I absolutely loved it. Oh. Yeah, and, uh, How long ago? Oh, uh, eighty-six. Huh. Okay. My sis...
Oh, yeah. Yes. Uh-huh. So. Oh, well that is right near Piedmont. Yeah, right. Right. Yeah, that is like a suburb or something, whatever. Yes, uh-huh. Uh-huh. Oh, yeah. Okay. Well she was in Berkley also and she Uh-huh. lets see I went when she was, uh, was living, well when I went out there she was in, uh, now I can't,...
She was living in Lafayette. Oh yeah, right. And then they moved to Piedmont. Uh-huh. So I, uh, I haven't seen, uh, you know, her house in Piedmont but, but I loved San Francisco. I would like to go back. Yeah. Did you go on the cable cars and everything? Oh yeah. Yeah. Isn't that fun? Went to Alcatraz. You know we did...
Oh, beautiful. Yeah. And we went to Carmel. Uh-huh. And we took the eighteen mile drive. Isn't that pretty. I love it down there. Oh, it is beautiful. That is really beautiful. Uh-huh. My girlfriend was down there a few months ago. First time she has been down there and they wanted to take that drive and they had close...
You name it, I haven't been there Well I, uh, have been there a couple of times. Uh-huh. I went on a cruise. Oh, that is nice. The last time I went, I went with my two sisters. Uh-huh. And it was over Christmas time. Yeah. And we really had a good time. Uh-huh. Well they, they had this cruise director dress up like San...
It is. I have heard it is. Yeah. Yeah, because you don't have to worry about unpacking or anything like that you know. You put your clothes in your room, Uh-huh. Oh, you will have to go on one. You don't get seasick? That is what I am afraid of. No. No, huh. I mean there was, some people did, uh, on that last cruise th...
Uh-huh. but, uh, it is really nice and they, they just do so many things for you, you know, to make you enjoy the trip and everything. Right, yeah. So, you will have to do that once. I want to go on another one, but I want to go to Alaska. Oh, yes. Now someone I know was on a cruise to Alaska. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Was it to...
So on and she is laying on the beach. And I said, well you are not very tan for someone who has been on a cruise She said we went to Alaska Yeah. Right. And, uh, that, that I would like to go, well Hawaii is my, uh, is number one. I would also like to go to Australia and get a, Oh, I think I would like to, too. Yeah. I...
and naturally while I was working for them I had health insurance, but, um, for me to try to get it now, it would cost me like over three hundred dollars a month with the same company that was providing health insurance at, at P I E. Good grief. That's just almost unaffordable, isn't it? Right, it really is, and I thin...
Because everybody's competing for jobs. Yeah, and they don't want, uh, to pay any benefits, so you just, you know, pray to God that you don't get sick. Well, I used to think that universal health insurance was probably the right thing to do. I, I have to think about it some more now, because my doctor is, uh, actually...
and, uh, and every year we get another list of what doctor's we can go to, and where we can buy our medicine, and, uh, it changes every year Yeah. It's always so confusing. So. Well, I know the plan that I had with P I E, I could go to any doctor and I could go to any drug store and get my prescriptions filled, you kno...
and everybody agrees that we need to limit cost some way, Yeah, that's true, that's true there. Well. You, you have to recognize that if you're going to have the very best health care possible and, uh, available on demand whenever and wherever you want it, then it's going to be expensive. Yeah, right. And if you want t...
probably so. I don't know, but it is, it does seem to be a big problem, you know. I don't know what they're going to come up with, but, um, I sure wish they would come up with, with something, and, uh, like I say, and, and I'm at the age, too, where the, I'll be fifty-seven in June, and the people don't want to hire pe...
now I, I do think the government, though, is going to have to do something, uh, with this problem, because, it, you know, even to go to a little doctor out here, just to ask him anything, costs you forty bucks you know, just for the visit. Uh-huh. And then he, then that's not counting what medicine you're going to buy ...
Well, what, what do you think of the, let's put it this way, what do you think are the most important benefits for those working for you, other than, other than their present salary? Um, I'd say in today's economy, besides basic benefits, uh, such as, um, health insurance and life insurance and the, some type of retire...
Right. Well, Bill, uh, that idea fits me exactly. I just retired from, uh, the university here, and that's been the goal in my life, was to contribute and, to the work that I was doing in my research, and that's what made me happy, and, uh, that's the type of goal I think most people ought to look for, and I'm sure a l...
and, uh, it's real important, uh, that their benefit plans that they get from their companies and from their work that, where they were, that, uh, uh, that it take care of them. They don't, none of them really want to be rich, but they like to have enough to be comfortable. Well, what, what changes would you, have you ...
and these secretaries and administrative assistants, um, you know, if we don't have their cooperation and they're not participating in the profit of the company, they, they can get very dissatisfied very quickly. Uh-huh. And, so, uh, we're thinking about paying them, instead of a percentage on salary, paying them a per...
That's true. which, that's what we have. Uh-huh. Actually, I'm in, like I said, I'm in Minneapolis and the big thing up here, of course, is the twins. Uh, I imagine you can't escape it No, it's, it's pretty pervasive. It kind of goes into about all aspects of society I think up here. But, uh, actually, I don't know how...
So I'm not exactly a real Twins fan from birth or anything. But, I was born and raised in, uh, near Miami and, uh, spent the last twenty years in Dallas uh, where the Rangers played. Oh, yeah. Oh. Uh-huh. And, uh, for the last, uh, what, year, roughly year, I've been in San Francisco where there are two teams. The Oa...
well I don't know. That's sort of what I gather. Uh-huh. Um, and, uh, I don't know. What is the prognosis for, uh, this year? Uh, real good as far as I can tell. People are pretty excited about it. Good. I, I assume that means good for the Minnesota Well yeah Sorry about that, yeah. Uh, as far as the Twins are concerne...
I heard some noise on the line. Didn't know what happened. I think a train went by. Oh, okay. All right. I know a train went by, I don't know what the noise was but I think it probably was the, the train. Yeah. Well, I don't know. I, I, I don't even know, uh, who has been winning in, uh, as far as the, uh, San Francisc...
and I'm doing mine with Honeywell. But, uh, I, I think he kind of follows the sports and I think he's mentioned uh, the Oakland A a couple of times. Uh he may have watched them and seemed to think that they were pretty good. Uh-huh. I guess they are different leagues. Is that right? The A As far as I know, yeah. Yeah ...
But the thing is, there's like eighty-six home games per year. So there's no, no way that you can ever use them all. Eighty-six? Eighty-six. I was amazed to hear that. Huh! You know, that's just the home games and I, I thought it was a mistake but he goes no . Well they must play every day then. Yeah. Well just about, ...
Even if they play every day, that's over five months worth. Well, you, if you, if you consider it, the season starts, well it's, the season started about a week and a half ago and it ends with the World Series which usually takes place, I believe, in December or January. No. Yeah, I think so. It did last year, didn't i...
okay . Yeah, so it had to be November anyway. Well, I, I know, uh, the Super Bowl, Okay. What would you rather have? Or you want salary too plus what? What's most important to you? Well, as far as tangible benefits go I would say that, uh, health insurance of all forms is probably my next most important concern. Right....
But, uh, man, I think those medical benefits are the most important. Uh, You, you really don't realize how important they are until you find yourself on the other side of the fence without them and having to cover your own medical and, uh, you can quickly see where they become a very important part of your, your compen...
I don't know what happened to the salary employees when, uh, the company went bankrupt but I was union, so mine was being put into a, like a trust fund, you know. Right. So, but I don't know if they ever got anything or if they lost all of theirs or, I suspect that it just disappeared. Yeah, that's what I was thinking ...
uh-huh. Uh-huh. So. No, I, I worked for a trucking company P I E, nation wide. You probably heard of that Ah, yes, yes. In fact, my mom drives trucks so, Oh, does she really? Yes. Oh, how about that. So, yeah, I see, uh, after the merger, uh, you see a lot of Ryder PIE stuff on the road. Well, you did. So, did, did Ryd...
Right. and then, then that ended it Huh. So that the merger pretty much ended the whole thing. It really did. It's, it started, I think, a little bit before that but that, when P I E and, and Ryder went together, why that was downhill from then on, you know. Yeah, and the, the problem with that is, you know, when you l...
It's definitely excessive. So, but anyhow, uh, and jobs aren't that hard to find, to get another one that does pay your benefits, you know. True. And a lot of them that, if you do get a job, they don't pay benefits. Yeah, they're starting to, to cut back. Especially start-ups. I know here at Trans Ark, we get, uh, we g...
Yeah, right But you know what's happening is the, disability plan, you know, so many people are lying about their things. God, there's been big articles in the paper about that. Uh, you know, they claim a back injury and then someone goes out and spies on them and they're lifting refrigerators into trucks and and every...
and then it tapers off Really? Uh, what about you? Well, yeah, I do a lot of exercise. Right now, I'm into jazzercise, which I absolutely love. Uh, I started about two years ago because I gained some weight over the past few years and I wanted to get it back off Uh-huh. and I was going through a divorce and I just foun...
Uh-huh. And so I just recently discovered jazzercise, about two months ago. And I'm getting to be a good dancer from it and I'm just feeling really good. I love the class, it's real challenging, so I'm really into that, I really like that a lot. Well now that, is that, uh, that's related to the, the aerobic, uh, , It i...
Yeah. there's a lot of positive things with it, so. Well, uh, okay. Now that's inside again, right? It is inside and I've been doing a lot of bike riding outside with the nice weather we've been having But, and I just enjoy that much more too than inside. Do, do you like to do it with other people. I mean like the, th...
And at the gym, even in the class, uh, I, it's not really a group where you chat a lot. Everybody's on their way to someplace Right. and so, you know, I do have one friend who goes occasionally But, but, basically, I do it by myself in a group of maybe forty so. Yeah, right. Right. But still there are, there are other...
Yeah. So. Yeah, uh, that makes a difference doesn't it? Yeah. I, I've, one thing, when, when I have run and jogged, uh, I've always enjoyed doing it by myself and, and, not with the sense that it was, uh, uh, chore or something that I was having to do, I, I've really enjoyed just the activity and, uh, I write software,...
Right. and I find that I can often, you know, often, uh, when I get around to doing it, then I, I feel better when I get back to work Uh-huh and, uh, uh, also that, that, it, my subconscious is working on things while I'm working and I, I go back and I've got new ideas, but still . I think you do. You feel very good af...
Now I've learned to do that Yeah. and, you know, and it's, I think it just benefits you all around. So. Yeah, I think that's, uh, I think that's a good term, demanding the time for yourself. That you've just got to you've just got to You have to. Because there's always more things to do. Right. There is always thin...
No, I've done some walking with friends in the past. Uh-huh. But I find that when you do that, you do more chatting than you do exercise Yeah. and that's not really beneficial, so, uh I don't have time like that Yeah, yeah. and I spend enough time chatting around everywhere, you know Okay. Uh, read any good books latel...
but I don't know if I consider very many of them good Uh, I haven't read a book for enjoyment since, I guess, around Christmas. Uh, I received, uh, uh, several books for Christmas and at Christmas break I read, uh, SARUM by, uh, uh, a fellow named Rutherford. Yes. Uh, it's the history of, uh, well it's sort of the the ...
I don't think I have seen it. Okay. Well it's a book about, uh, uh, Greek gods and, and Greek, uh, mythology as well as, uh, man and interacting with other men and a book about, uh, men and how they mature through life. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Oh. And how they deal with life itself Okay. I think I have heard about that. Yeah. ...
I have, uh, someone suggested that I read it. Is it IRON JOHN? Yes. Okay. Good. By Bly, B L Y, I believe it is. B L Y? Uh-huh. Okay. Great. And, uh, it's a very interesting book. Uh-huh. Uh, what are your favorite, uh, do you have a favorite subject to read, whether it be science fiction or, or history or, Well, it dep...
Okay. Uh, always trying to understand people better and understand myself in relation to other people and try to understand where the people are coming from because I'm in a people business. Uh-huh. Okay. And, uh, so that, that's, my work is my hobby Uh-huh. That sounds great So I, I enjoy it. Uh, who is your, whose y...
Max Lucado? Max Lucado. Yeah. Max consistently writes good books. Yeah. Uh, he's a great man. I've met him several times. Uh, Yes. I know him, yeah. Huh. But uh, there's other authors also that have uh, uh, that write good books from time to time, but not consistently put out the materials all the time Uh, I'd say ano...
But he, uh, he talks about, uh, he talks about a lot of different topics and, Okay, I guess its recording. Um, what kind of hobbies do you have? Do you sing or knit or anything? Well, I, um, I do cross-stitch and I enjoy reading and playing softball. Okay. I, uh, I started knitting awhile ago, I knitted I didn't know, ...
Well, I know that I learned how to knit one time and, um, made a few things but I haven't done it in so long that I probably wouldn't remember how Do you make sweaters and things or just blankets? Well, if I remember I think we made some, like Christmas stockings, you could make the, like the granny squares or whatever...
I've been trying to get some wedding gigs and things like that. Oh, well that's good. Um, right now my actual job is a news reporter. But, uh, if I could do anything I wanted to do, it would be to sing professionally. But um, So are you on the T V then? Yes, uh-huh. Oh. I'm in, uh, I work for channel six in Waco. Oh, o...
My schedule is like from nine to five thirty, but I could be at work from anytime, you know, from nine until nine at night or ten or whatever, so it's hard to make plans much less, you know, have a hobby. Yeah so. What do you do? Um. Normally. I'm a housewife. Oh, okay. So, unless the kids are asleep I don't get, usual...
and he was like, you didn't make that. Really? Oh, yeah, it looks, uh, halfway decent actually, first thing I did I guess you can make baby blankets that wouldn't take as long How many children do you have? Two. Oh, okay. I hear them in the background there . Yeah All right, that's a hobby in itself. Not quite A job in...
Yeah, I sang at one last summer. Um, it was my first wedding. I've done, um, little commercials and background singing and, um, I sang all through college and things like that but I really haven't done anything really, professional per se. Uh-huh. But I did one wedding last year and, uh, I just now got some cards toget...
so that would be great, if someone came and heard it, and they were like, I want that voice, Yeah but, I haven't got any calls, yet Well, that's good. but I only just put them out this week Yeah. and it's the wedding season, I guess. Oh, that's true. Uh-huh. Make your hobby into a business, that would be pretty good, h...
I've just been singing every chance I get. I try, you know, in school Choirs and that kind of stuff? and, yeah, choirs and, um, when I was at U T, I was in a group called Ensemble One oh Nine, just twelve singers and we did, uh, little conventions and, um, uh, like dinner parties and things like that. Huh. Sing pop mus...
yeah, I do have a call, hold on one second. Uh-huh Hello. Yes. Yes, okay that's my mother on the other line, I need to go, Oh. but, um, I think we are suppose to talk for ten minutes are we suppose to hear a beep or anything? I don't know, I've only done this one other time and I thought that the man told me five minut...
But, uh, okay well, it was nice talking to you and, and good luck with your hobbies It was nice talking to you, too, good luck with your singing. Okay, bye. Thanks, bye. Okay, uh, you want to start by telling me what camping is to you. Do you backpack or hike or, Well, uh, a little bit, uh, nothing overly strenuous. N...
Oh, it, it's, we've had a lot of fun, uh, I, I moved to Dallas about five years ago and we've made three different trips since I've been here. The group of friends that I run around with, of varying degrees, uh, of difficulty. The, the last one we did, and we haven't had a chance to duplicate was, uh, was a canoe trip ...
God, that sounds like fun Yeah it, it really is. Well the camping I grew up with was like tents and Coleman stove type. And, uh, you know, that just either out in the woods, or actually I, I grew up water skiing. I was, uh, from California, Okay. and so we would go up to the Sacramento, uh, river sloughs, the delta the...
I like being able to go back into the mountains, or, you know, where the trail didn't necessarily lead, and where you couldn't necessarily, pitch a tent Boy, I bet, yeah. Uh-huh. But, uh, that, that was interesting. I, I have always wanted to do some white water rafting and so your canoeing kind of made me think of tha...
so you haven't done that before. No, no, we haven't made that trip yet. My parents, uh, were sailing, uh, this last year down off, uh, Costa Rica and they took about two weeks and went into, I don't even know the name of the river there, but they went white water rafting and Mom said it was absolutely just a wonderful ...
We've, uh, well I, I do have, uh, a little bit of property, I grew up in South Dakota, Oh, okay. and I've got a piece of property in Minnesota that is completely undeveloped as of yet. There's, uh, there's a little lake up there and, uh, a group of friends that I, I went to college with, um, got together and we basical...
we ended up there for a couple days, uh, on our honeymoon. We kind of took, uh, a tour of the United States for about a week, and, uh, up through that area. That sounds, But, uh, my wife's real excited about it, so, we're, uh, we're going to hope to get up there sometime early last year it was the end of July and it wa...
That's right. So, but I think with him almost potty trained and, you know, she's not afraid of her shadow anymore, that I'm, I'm hoping and crossing my fingers that we'll be able to go, uh, this summer, you know, even if it's like over to Rio Dosa for a couple of days, or something to get them used to it and get them s...
or, there's a lot of different opportunities for things like that. It's a lot of fun, it really is. Hello. I've kind of gotten out of the habit of doing this. It's been down this weekend. V in Well, I haven't tried, but this is, I haven't called in a couple of days, but education in public schools. I have a son who's g...
Okay. What school system are you familiar with? Okay, my children go to Garland, and I teach in Dallas. oh, okay, well, I have a daughter that's in the, in, in the I B program at Garland. In the, are you familiar with the International Baccalaureate program. Well, yeah, yeah, yeah. Uh, do your kids go to Garland High,...
it's, um, she went from Austin Academy when it opened up, over to, uh, to North Garland for ninth grade. Uh-huh. But at North Garland, the, the difficulty I see with the education system is that, uh, is that, you can, you can, you can get some masses, but unless, if the kid's really dedicated, it seems like they do all...
Dallas is doing it I know. I think Plano, don't they have some, and Richardson's supposed to start some pilot schools, going to school year around. Yeah. And then we, you know, we investigated this by flying some people out from Dallas to observe some of the schools in California that already had it. Does it work well ...
Isn't it less? Yeah, it's, it's less degree days, you're right. But I think, I think, And it's not like the kids are going to go a lot longer, really, if you go year around there's not thirty days difference. Yeah. well how do they do it? Do they put, uh, long, do they put two or three week breaks between? There's diff...
Oh, okay. No. But you didn't go. But I think I'd like it, and I know a lot of teachers that would like to try it. Well, the, the other issue has to, that I hear that the local commentator I listen to some the idea that the numbers of administration and the fact that the principal, do you see that the principals aren't ...
but what they've done is create other offices for those same people, and just renamed their jobs and, you know, opened up other other things. Um. One thing we've got going is called reading and initiative, and they've hired all these administrators in on that, you know. Well, you know, the other thing that bothers me i...
