And they 're doing great .


%um , they had just moved to He 's in New York now , right ? a really nice house in Westchester .

%um , they had just moved to He 's in <gpe>New York</gpe> now , right ? a really nice house in <gpe>Westchester</gpe> .


yeah , Good . an older home that you know Julie is of course carving up and making beautiful . %um

yeah , Good . an older home that you know <person>Julie</person> is of course carving up and making beautiful . %um


uh-huh .


Now she had a job with an architectural group when she first got out to New York ,

Now she had a job with an architectural group when she first got out to <gpe>New York</gpe> ,


and that did n't work out .


She said they had her doing things that she really was n't qualified to do %ah . and that she really did n't feel competent doing .


And , they mutually agreed that she should leave .


And so she was looking for another job .


And , %um , I 'm sure she 'll find one .


She 's so talented .


She may have found one by now . %um


yeah ,


oh yeah .


Amazing ,


yeah .


and so we met , %um , %uh Adrian , their kid , who was three uh-huh . and just a really lovely little boy .

and so we met , %um , %uh <person>Adrian</person> , their kid , who was <date>three</date> uh-huh . and just a really lovely little boy .


right


yeah


He 's so big .


Well , , Leo 's big . You know ,

Well , , <person>Leo</person> 's big . You know ,


he 's got Leo 's genes .

he 's got <person>Leo</person> 's genes .


And %uh Ron and Doris sent us a picture of theirs

And %uh <person>Ron</person> and <person>Doris</person> sent us a picture of theirs


and he has Ron 's expressions .

and he has <person>Ron</person> 's expressions .


He really looks like Ron .

He really looks like <person>Ron</person> .


oh that 's life .


%um , and he looked really big too .


In this picture , he 's three and a half .

In this picture , he 's <cardinal>three and a half</cardinal> .


%huh .


%um , but Leo and Julie just seemed , %um sort of happy with the decisions they 've made .

%um , but <person>Leo</person> and <person>Julie</person> just seemed , %um sort of happy with the decisions they 've made .


And


Good .


%um , like every


now is he with a publishing house now ?


Which one is he with .


Yes which one %um


Well I can


yeah


It 's one of these sort of universi- the public university book stuff .


It might be Hard Core Brace .

It might be <org>Hard Core Brace</org> .


I 'm not sure .


oh yeah .


I have two friends in publishing .

I have <cardinal>two</cardinal> friends in publishing .


It may be the other one that just took the job with Hard Core Brace

It may be the other one that just took the job with <org>Hard Core Brace</org>


I do n't remember which one .


yeah .


Anyway , he 's enjoying it and liking it


and they 're doing okay .


he seems to feel really like he 's doing the right thing


and he is Great still in academic publishing .


My other friend just moved to trade publishing after years in academic publishing

My other friend just moved to trade publishing after <date>years</date> in academic publishing


and mhm %um you know . It feels like maybe she made a compromise


but it 's like three times the money as with everything else

but it 's like <cardinal>three</cardinal> times the money as with everything else


so


wow wow


industry and academics %um


Terrible


yeah it 's amazing


and %um You know ages ago I got a card from Liz Gana .

and %um You know ages ago I got a card from <person>Liz Gana</person> .


I told you this .


because %uh you showed us her picture .


yeah


Crazy


%um and I keep thinking maybe I 'd get in touch


but I have n't done it .


and then I saw in the %um Tufts thing that Ginny Totta you know in the alumni thing is living in the

and then I saw in the %um <org>Tufts</org> thing that <person>Ginny Totta</person> you know in the alumni thing is living in the


So , anyway , how are you doing these days ?


Things are going very well .


I think I had mentioned before %uh , that there 's a company now that I 'm working with %um , %uh , which is very much just myself and Guss .

I think I had mentioned before %uh , that there 's a company now that I 'm working with %um , %uh , which is very much just myself and <person>Guss</person> .


oh .


And that %um


No , you had n't mentioned that .


%eh , oh , okay .


okay , so %um


%eh you told me that you were leaving the company that you were at ,


and you were entertaining offers .


And , %uh


well it seemed to make sense since I had a client to just kind of set up my own company , of sorts .


%um oh . So things are going extremely well .


So , I had one client who said that he 'd pay me a minimum amount .


You know , he , %uh ,


there would be a minimum amount of work , of about %uh , a day a week for the next two three years . mhm . Which is sufficient to pay all my bills then

there would be a minimum amount of work , of about %uh , a day a week for <date>the next two three years</date> . mhm . Which is sufficient to pay all my bills then


so I decided that it would make sense to do this .


%um and , %um , I 've been getting substantially more work than then .


%mm .


So I 'm quite pleased .


Well that 's good .


%um , so I have a bunch of %uh work that I need to do on my flat this year .

%um , so I have a bunch of %uh work that I need to do on my flat <date>this year</date> .


I 've been telling you that I needed to do that roof atrium for quite some time .


But , %uh , it should come out this year .

But , %uh , it should come out <date>this year</date> .


oh , well that 's good .


It should be done in a few months .

It should be done in <date>a few months</date> .


oh , yeah


I remember So you talking a little bit about it at one point .


yeah ,


yeah .


So you have no intentions of coming over this way any time soon ?


%um . I do n't see the finances occurring uh-huh , right . for a while .


%um , actually right at the moment finances are not going real well .


But %ah well . I am working on that one .


%uh .


It 's just But %um %uh , %uh , the main reason for that is I had not really anticipated a few expenses that recently came up %ah . %uh , related to a couple of burglaries that I had .


oh , harsh . Harsh .


and .


Not a whole lot I can do about that now .


Indeed . Indeed .


have to deal with the situation .


And


So that 's what I 'm doing .


Sounds good .


But %um Anyway , %uh One of the main reasons that I 've been such a pathetic , %uh , correspondent has been work .

But %um Anyway , %uh <cardinal>One</cardinal> of the main reasons that I 've been such a pathetic , %uh , correspondent has been work .


I 've actually been doing a lot of it .


oh wow .


And %uh , I turned in my Master 's thesis back in May ,

And %uh , I turned in my Master 's thesis back in <date>May</date> ,


and I 'm actually presently working on , %um , several , %uh , articles oh , okay . Impressive . from it .


yeah ,


actually it turns out that one thing , one little bit in what I was doing , %uh , is going to turn out to be very important in the end . %uh , from what I had been reading in the literature .

actually it turns out that <cardinal>one</cardinal> thing , <cardinal>one</cardinal> little bit in what I was doing , %uh , is going to turn out to be very important in the end . %uh , from what I had been reading in the literature .


You see the one very annoying thing about all of this , was my advisor has been in France for a year and a half .

You see the one very annoying thing about all of this , was my advisor has been in <gpe>France</gpe> for <date>a year and a half</date> .


yeah .


And this made writing my thesis very annoying because you know there was n't much discussion .


yup ,


yup .


But , %um Anyway , I had been kind of telling him that , you know , from my reading of the literature , I thought that this one little alteration I had made in my model was kind of clever and unique .

But , %um Anyway , I had been kind of telling him that , you know , from my reading of the literature , I thought that this <cardinal>one</cardinal> little alteration I had made in my model was kind of clever and unique .


mhm .


And it made the one type of solution occur , which was seen experimentally ,

And it made the <cardinal>one</cardinal> type of solution occur , which was seen experimentally ,


but none of the other models %uh , had ?


Yes .


the- ,


I 'm looking at , %um , multi mode lasers .


And one of the things that they find experimentally are what they call anti phased , %uh , states , where if you look at the total intensity uh-huh . of the laser , you get an oscillation which is characterized by one frequency .

And one of the things that they find experimentally are what they call anti phased , %uh , states , where if you look at the total intensity uh-huh . of the laser , you get an oscillation which is characterized by <cardinal>one</cardinal> frequency .


okay .


if you separate out the different modes of the laser mhm . and look at one of those , you get more than one frequency .

if you separate out the different modes of the laser mhm . and look at one of those , you get <cardinal>more than one</cardinal> frequency .


So what 's happening is that the modes are oscillating out of phase so that they completely mask each other 's Exactly . %hm . oscillations on these other frequencies .


And %uh With a pretty simple model you can find that frequency in a transient ,


but you ca n't find that frequency in a driven , %uh , frequency .


You ca n't find so that it will sustain .


So yeah , that particular frequency according to most models damps out very quickly .


And so you should n't actually really be able to ever see it .


%hm .


The only thing is , that , when you do the experiment you see it .


Got it ,


got it .


I see .


So , %um , I found a simple modification of the original formula , which unfortunately makes the solutions horrendously nasty . And in most cases , %uh , insoluble .


But yeah . it gives a driving term .


oh , okay .


So , it actually creates a situation where you get the right sort of answer , you just ca n't always write it down very easily .


Exactly .


oh wow .


so you 're pushing forward the bounds of theoretical laser , %uh , whatever it is science .


But


which , %um , is kind of interesting considering that that 's not really my thing . . Indeed . Indeed . being an experimentalist , not a theorist .


%um Indeed . oh wow . oh , impressive . But


so are you going to get an article in Nature or something ?

so are you going to get an article in <org>Nature</org> or something ?


%um , actually , I 'm not sure if we 're shooting for op- ,


I think Optics Letters is probably the one that we 're shooting for , or else , perhaps , though I do n't think it 's quite that significant , would be Phys Rev Letters .

I think <org>Optics Letters</org> is probably the one that we 're shooting for , or else , perhaps , though I do n't think it 's quite that significant , would be <org>Phys Rev Letters</org> .


%hm .


But , %uh , we want to write a letter , and then a couple articles .

But , %uh , we want to write a letter , and then <cardinal>a couple</cardinal> articles .


yeah .


%hm . impressive .


And I do n't know how much you know about scientific literature ,


but letters are much more prestigious than , articles .


oh , okay .


oh , I did n't realize that .


okay .


yeah ,


so that 's why it 's actually a big deal is


I mean , you know , writing a couple of articles based on your Master 's thesis , is , not at all unusual in Physics


and yeah . %uh , it 's the fact that I would be writing a letter that is the impressive part of it all .


And what 's actually kind of interesting is I kept telling Neil that I thought that this was kind of significant .

And what 's actually kind of interesting is I kept telling <person>Neil</person> that I thought that this was kind of significant .


And Neil kept writing back that I should tone this part of the thesis down that You know , people see the anti phased motion ,

And <person>Neil</person> kept writing back that I should tone this part of the thesis down that You know , people see the anti phased motion ,


and it 's true


they do in the transients


And I was having a lot of trouble getting across to him that all of the literature has this frequency in the transients Yes . %eh and not driven .


And , %uh , what happened was after I had turned in my thesis but before I saw Neil again , he went to a conference in Rochester and there this was a big issue among the people who were doing this work , was , that their models could n't show this as a driven frequency ,

And , %uh , what happened was after I had turned in my thesis but before I saw <person>Neil</person> again , he went to a conference in <gpe>Rochester</gpe> and there this was a big issue among the people who were doing this work , was , that their models could n't show this as a driven frequency ,


yet their experiments showed it as a driven frequency .


oh cool .


and so Neil then -- Said oh just a second I -- like a week later came to Bryn Mawr

and so <person>Neil</person> then -- Said oh just a <time>second</time> I -- like <date>a week later</date> came to <org>Bryn Mawr</org>


and he said , hey Lowell , we got to write this up .

and he said , hey <person>Lowell</person> , we got to write this up .


Exactly .


And I was like , well I 've been telling you that Neil .

And I was like , well I 've been telling you that <person>Neil</person> .


Indeed .


So Cool . Cool . that 's mostly the sort of stuff that I 'm spending a lot of time on now . %um


Well it 'll look good on your C V , your resume .


so you might as well spend the time .


Yes , well ,


%uh , no , it 's definitely worth doing . %um ,


and I would have been spending more time on it if it were n't for %uh dealing with the burglary issues oh yeah but that I 've been dealing with .


So are you still living in that house in the middle of the park .


Yes .


yeah , okay .


yeah .


I mean the thing that i-


this place is incredibly easy to break into if you want to .


oh .


It 's not a question of whether or not , %uh you know , that was easy ,


it was just that no one really knew it was worth breaking into .


Exactly .


And so the problem is that now they found out that it 's worth breaking into .


And unfortunately .


Well , it 's kind of odd .


They 've stolen very weird things for the most part .


%hm .


as far


yeah


as a .


The first time they broke in , what they stole was just bizarre ,

The <ordinal>first</ordinal> time they broke in , what they stole was just bizarre ,


mostly worthless stuff .


And , %uh %huh the most worthwhile thing as far as monetary value went that they stole was the pre-amplifier of my stereo . Unfortunately , because it 's a nice pre-amplifier ,


it has an off board power supply which they did n't steal , which makes the thing that they **stoled** absolutely worthless .


%huh .


So .


That 's bizarre . Bizarre .


so when they broke in the second time did they steal the %uh offboard amplifier ?

so when they broke in the <ordinal>second</ordinal> time did they steal the %uh offboard amplifier ?


Actually , no ,


all they stole the second time was my bike .

all they stole the <ordinal>second</ordinal> time was my bike .


Which was actually where the major problem came . Exactly . Exactly . yeah . Is that I suddenly had no transportation .


And so , I then had to go bike hunting and eventually get another bike ,


and %mm . that cost me a lot of time .


yeah .


Exactly .


Because ,


yes


Spending a lot of time hunting for bikes , and nah well . then getting one purchased , and then having to , you know , go get it and things like that .

Spending a lot of time hunting for bikes , and nah well . then getting <cardinal>one</cardinal> purchased , and then having to , you know , go get it and things like that .


But , that 's dealt with at least .


And so %uh , that 's yeah at least dealt with .


Now I just have to work on the financial aspects of all of this .


But yeah . yeah .


At least Well that would make sense during the summer %uh according to the stipulations of my fellowship , I can actually earn money during the summer .

At least Well that would make sense during the summer %uh according to the stipulations of my fellowship , I can actually earn money during <date>the summer</date> .


But %um , guessed what happened .


What ?


%um The %um


Again ?


%um 118.91_120.82_B: Let 's see ,


two weeks ago


I know Sue is going to Rhode Island .

I know <person>Sue</person> is going to <gpe>Rhode Island</gpe> .


%eh Right .


Right .


Did she see her mom ?


Yes she did .


And ?


%um , %um , which we had already anticipated that it was going to happen .


I spoke to her mom on Thursday

I spoke to her mom on <date>Thursday</date>


%um and I asked her


I said listen


I said %um please come to Shabbat


things have come to a point where I may have to relinquish my , %uh parenting .


%uh would you mind %uh taking her back


and she said no .


She said %uh she 'd be more than happy to .


Really ?


This girl has everything in her dreams you know .


it is as my husband says %uh , %uh al kadir the destiny .


Selema I 'm telling you ,

<person>Selema</person> I 'm telling you ,


it is like Allah has just painted the road


and all I had to do was get on it and follow it .


I mean things have been happening that has just scared the heck out of me .


I told mom


I said mom it is when you believe in Allah , when you have faith and know when you truly give your heart to Allah , only Allah can make the way clear for you .


%uh .


I believe that by her birthday she will be living with her mother .

She 's in the program now .


She 's doing very well .


When I talked to her I 'm talking to her like I 'm talking to you .


I wrote her a letter and told her


I said I feel like I know you even though I never met you .


They seemed surprised that ,


I mean most women you lose your baby that 's it .


But almighty God is


You never even get a chance to see them again .


That 's true .


But that 's what she had wrote me .


she said it is just awesome to her what is happening .


yup .


mhm .


aw I 've heard of that .


So Francis


Did she say how she felt about what had happened ?


No .


we have n't really talked about that


but I 'm planning on making a trip down to visit her .


Well , how does Akina feel ?

Well , how does <person>Akina</person> feel ?


she 's , very happy about it .


Very ha-


Well did she come home and say I saw her , I look like her or what ?


we talked on the phone


and you know she talked about %um her sisters you know and things


we 've spent the night with her sisters and things

we 've spent the <time>night</time> with her sisters and things


and %um it 's just been quite interesting although when she was in Rhode Island she was very disruptive , %um down there and really caused Francis a lot of stress

and %um it 's just been quite interesting although when she was in <gpe>Rhode Island</gpe> she was very disruptive , %um down there and really caused <person>Francis</person> a lot of stress


and %um Francis was very worried about me because she came home two weeks before you know %um because she just was acting like a total nigger child .

and %um <person>Francis</person> was very worried about me because she came home <date>two weeks</date> before you know %um because she just was acting like a total nigger child .


uh-oh !


Hope the research did n't hear that !


wait


Alita I 'm telling you nobody can handle her but you , okay .

<person>Alita</person> I 'm telling you nobody can handle her but you , okay .


And %um ,


but she was very concerned about me and everything %um because %um the child had told some lies about me and about you .


oh .


oh 296.72_297.91_A: oh no .


And about


oh yeah mhm


oh goodness .


yeah .


That we were abusing ,


that %um you know ,


oh yeah


she did some %eh ,


and it was very , very bad .


My daughter - in - law Barbara got on her case real serious yesterday .

My daughter - in - law <person>Barbara</person> got on her case real serious <date>yesterday</date> .


Told her that she could n't talk to Jasmine play with Jasmine because she said she hurt Jasmine 's Jetta you know

Told her that she could n't talk to <person>Jasmine</person> play with <person>Jasmine</person> because she said she hurt <person>Jasmine</person> 's <person>Jetta</person> you know


and she said that if it was n't for Jetta you know Jasmine 's daddy would n't be

and she said that if it was n't for <person>Jetta</person> you know <person>Jasmine</person> 's daddy would n't be


oh she 'd


oh man %uh it was


aw .


You know that has always been very scary to me even after .


I said to Mark oh my god . What 's she going to say

I said to <person>Mark</person> oh my god . What 's she going to say


because I knew what she would do if I took her somewhere you know what she would say


and I ,


you know in the climate of today , Yes . people saying something like that .


That well ,


you know that 's


and Francis was very concerned in reference to you know she was in school and things

and <person>Francis</person> was very concerned in reference to you know she was in school and things

Alita she said this little girl has a serious problem .

<person>Alita</person> she said this little girl has a serious problem .


She wrote me a letter mhm . you know about her needing a lot of love , a lot of %um help and different things like this ,


but you know you 've heard the saying I 'm sure from your grandmother


the sins of your parents will be waged back at you , %hm . you know ,


%um and again my husband said we were going to give it a month , you know and said he was even going to have to sheik pray over her , you know for the jen .

%um and again my husband said we were going to give it <date>a month</date> , you know and said he was even going to have to sheik pray over her , you know for the jen .


%hm .


You know , I mean , we 're d- , you know ,


and I think we 're still going to be doing that


but I think he 's at a point now where he 's reserved us of that %um , you know that she may end up going %um to %uh t-


oh well the thing is your whole life has been around her mhm . more or less


mhm . mhm .


I mean it is you know I mean absorbed


where is , you know


mhm %mm .


and you know , I mean


this is a lousy


%eh I truly believe that **Salem**


I do n't think ,


you think she 'll be better with her mother ?


I have no idea .


I really have no idea .


But


%um , but you know the ,


if this does happen and I do believe it may happen , %um you know we will have an agreement , she and I , you know ,


%um she will become the legal guardian and that %um


%uh you know I just want her to understand everything that has happened in the last several years yeah . and things like that .

%uh you know I just want her to understand everything that has happened in <date>the last several years</date> yeah . and things like that .


She needs to be clear about that because this child wo n't be like the other two .

She needs to be clear about that because this child wo n't be like the other <cardinal>two</cardinal> .


%eh %eh You know , %um Well , she said that she was .


Andre said that she was .

<person>Andre</person> said that she was .


oh yeah .


She was like her two daughters ,

She was like her <cardinal>two</cardinal> daughters ,


yeah .


mhm .


they had the same , maybe just


problems and different ,


she has n't been with her children for ten years .

she has n't been with her children for <date>ten years</date> .


Her , or her two girls .

Her , or her <cardinal>two</cardinal> girls .


%ah .


And they 're twelve and ,


no they 're nine and thirteen or something like that .

no they 're <date>nine</date> and <date>thirteen</date> or something like that .


yup ,


but she 's working very hard .


She 's trying to become a counselor in this drug program , and things


and she sounds like she 's really trying hard .


and I just believe it 's you know time , you know


and , who would have ever thought it though ,


you know what I mean ?


Does she know that you 're Muslim ?

Does she know that you 're <norp>Muslim</norp> ?


uh-huh


yup .


yup


%um So that 's been my most interesting things in the last three weeks .

%um So that 's been my most interesting things in <date>the last three weeks</date> .


oh that 's some deep ,


that 's just too deep .


mhm .


Been very , very , very , heavy .


like mom said she said even if it was going to be in September , she said the little things I can tolerate you know if that happens you know .

like mom said she said even if it was going to be in <date>September</date> , she said the little things I can tolerate you know if that happens you know .


But you know I always worried


you know even after you left I said , I just hope Arlita knows that you know I tried my best you know

you know even after you left I said , I just hope <person>Arlita</person> knows that you know I tried my best you know


and Everybody has to keep them , Selema , everybody , everybody You know ,

and Everybody has to keep them , <person>Selema</person> , everybody , everybody You know ,


and I told her


I said you know it 's a shame that you ca n't go no place and I can get a good report on you you know , %um , and by her going to Francis and things , and Francis seeing for herself ,

I said you know it 's a shame that you ca n't go no place and I can get a good report on you you know , %um , and by her going to <person>Francis</person> and things , and <person>Francis</person> seeing for herself ,


she was like whoa .


did Francis feel she had changed a lot ?

did <person>Francis</person> feel she had changed a lot ?


oh yes .


t- ,


You know , mhm , mhm .


a- ,


%ah .


%um , %um , but you know I feel very at peace about everything .


uh-huh .


I feel very at peace you know .


Well it 's good to hear from Francis who 's had a lot of child-

Well it 's good to hear from <person>Francis</person> who 's had a lot of child-


Yes .


Over six hundred .


oh .


Over six hundred foster children .

<cardinal>Over six hundred</cardinal> foster children .


mhm .


You know she would 've seen it all .


She called mom to talk to mom


let 's see she bought ,


I met her in Albany


and she bought her


%um she caught ,


that was on Friday last Friday

that was on <date>Friday last Friday</date>


she called mom Monday And talked to mom for two hours

she called mom <date>Monday</date> And talked to mom for <time>two hours</time>


%mm .


She talked to mom here in Rochester .

She talked to mom here in <gpe>Rochester</gpe> .


oh you 're kidding


I was sick up in Syracuse .


She talked to mom .


something must 've been on her mind .


she told mom


she said she was so concerned that this little girl was going to just get out here cause I was n't going to send back to the school , the Muslim school .

she said she was so concerned that this little girl was going to just get out here cause I was n't going to send back to the school , the <norp>Muslim</norp> school .


uh-huh .


And she was just really concerned about you know everything . mhm you know . What the possibilities of like


Sure .


yep .


mhm .


Well you know or luck making a way and making it at ease for you to


Well you know why Allah is doing this .


I 'm going to tell you why


because my daughter - in - law is pregnant again .


oh no !


She said she was going to call you .


%ah


I said well you call Selema

I said well you call <person>Selema</person>


and you tell her .


I said oh and I do n't have your number in my other phonebook I said .


I said you just call her and tell her


yup she sure is .


oh my goodness .


Goodness .


Wait ,


wait ,


did they do like %uh the same thing they had to do last time ?


No .


You know what ?


That same thing happened to Aliah .


She had to take all that stuff the first time

She had to take all that stuff the <ordinal>first</ordinal> time


but then the second time

but then the <ordinal>second</ordinal> time


Nope .


She


yup .


j- , j- ,


%uh , and mom said ,


I mean Jasmine was about two months old

I mean <person>Jasmine</person> was about <date>two months old</date>

For a woman who is lifting not that much I do n't think yeah . You would .

So I do n't know


maybe she 'll catch on soon .


You do burn a lot of calories an hour though , lifting weights .


uh-huh .


But %uh


yeah


I mean I do n't think you 're going to lose that much .


and also lifting weights at Bally 's means you 're standing on line for as much time as you 're actually lifting .

To -- -- you know the other thing , the reception .


I just would n't go .


%mm .


So they had to take it down and drive her home .


So they 're always kind of pissy at me .

yeah .


I mean I 've been thinking about it


and the black 's not going to be so hot you know

but -- oh it is . it 's pretty de classe .


Well I kind of thou- ,


I mean of course I did n't say anything to her .


You know I said as far as I knew we were n't charging people .


Now

I told him this morning to do it this week .

yeah ?


yeah .


he 's often chipper .


He went for a walk this morning at five seventeen .

He went for a walk <time>this morning at five seventeen</time> .


Pe-


oh my god .


Is that because he 's not sleeping and


Well because he could n't breathe because all the cats were in the bedroom .


oh .


So I think it 's time to give all the cats a bath .


%mm .


yeah


and the- ,


you should do that .


I know .


It 's a two person job though .

It 's a <cardinal>two</cardinal> person job though .


I 'll have to get somebody to help me .


%mm . yeah .


%hm .


But %uh , yeah ,


it 's still a fairly expensive call


%uh but it 's a lot less expensive if we do it that way than if we actually make my parents in law pay it ,


then it


the Dutch have such high taxes on those

the <norp>Dutch</norp> have such high taxes on those


they consider it a luxury to call around the world


so they tax it really high .


Anyway %um

It 's probably easier for me to come by public transport in <gpe>Amsterdam</gpe> than it is for me to come by car to be honest .


mhm .


The streets are small


and there 's no parking .


So I probably will come by public transport

But we got to see <gpe>Den Haag</gpe> and places like that too which we 're obviously not going to see this time .


But %um


has Kim been here before ?

has <person>Kim</person> been here before ?


And , an-


No .


oh good .


But then again I 'm not sure that Kim would be interested in seeing Shape Headquarters and you know all that kind of stuff . those military things .

But then again I 'm not sure that <person>Kim</person> would be interested in seeing <fac>Shape Headquarters</fac> and you know all that kind of stuff . those military things .


Would you be interested in seeing Shape Headquarters again .

Would you be interested in seeing <fac>Shape Headquarters</fac> again .


No . Not really .


I did n't think so .


Somehow I had this feeling that the military taste had been beaten out of you .


yep .


I 'm ,


the mil- ,


I ca n't say too bad things about the military though .


They still have my goods


and they 'll probably hold them hostage .


And they own my body and soul for like another four years

And they own my body and soul for like <date>another four years</date>


so I just got to pray that they


oh do they ?


yeah .


I owe four years in active reserve time .

I owe <date>four years</date> in active reserve time .


aw great .


Do they do that to everyone ?


Milo , get out of there


yeah -- -- %eh everyone %uh who has n't been like you were


you went through like the thirty six two process .

you went through like the <cardinal>thirty six</cardinal> <cardinal>two</cardinal> process .


mhm .


So you do n't have it


but yeah if you just separate normally and you have n't served at least eight years , then you owe it .

but yeah if you just separate normally and you have n't served <date>at least eight years</date> , then you owe it .


And that 's one of those things they just never tell you up front .


No .


They never said anything


I figured there was something like that because


And I was in the inactive reserves the entire time I was in college too .


So .


I mean that 's the military .


I have my discharge papers and everything


uh-huh .


and I 've said that yeah I will give a urine sample or a blood sample if they call me back for those , but they 're going to have to pay my trip back to the states . because there 's no bases in Holland and I 'm not going to pay out of my own expenses to go to Germany or something for them .

and I 've said that yeah I will give a urine sample or a blood sample if they call me back for those , but they 're going to have to pay my trip back to <gpe>the states</gpe> . because there 's no bases in <gpe>Holland</gpe> and I 'm not going to pay out of my own expenses to go to <gpe>Germany</gpe> or something for them .


If they want me they can pay ,


bring me back active duty and pay me for the day if they 're going to drag me off somewhere .


But %uh , first they have to find me .

But %uh , <ordinal>first</ordinal> they have to find me .


yeah , that 's the other


it was i- ,


if you 're in another country I mean and you 're not planning on coming back to the U S what are they going to do even if you do n't .

if you 're in another country I mean and you 're not planning on coming back to <gpe>the U S</gpe> what are they going to do even if you do n't .


yeah .


Well I mean I 'm still American citizen

Well I mean I 'm still <norp>American</norp> citizen


and I still would like to be welcome in my own country .


Although g-


%uh I mean if they denied my citizenship and I became a citizen here I probably would n't be a horror either ,


but %uh yeah


right now I mean I do want to keep my American citizenship

right now I mean I do want to keep my <norp>American</norp> citizenship


so .


I kind of want to


Are you going to become a dual citizen ?


What 's that ?


Are you going to try and become a dual citizen ?


Have dual citizenship ?


You ca n't do that ,


%um , the only way to be a dual citizen is if you 're born in a foreign country


like if I were born in Holland and then had American parents . Then I could be a dual citizen .

like if I were born in <gpe>Holland</gpe> and then had <norp>American</norp> parents . Then I could be a dual citizen .


But you ca n't


If I would to ask to become a citizen in Holland I would automatically lose my American citizenship .

If I would to ask to become a citizen in <gpe>Holland</gpe> I would automatically lose my <norp>American</norp> citizenship .


As far as the Americans are concerned , yeah .

As far as the <norp>Americans</norp> are concerned , yeah .


yeah .


The Dutch could care less .

The <norp>Dutch</norp> could care less .


The Dutch would say fine


want to be a dual citizen ,


that 's fine ,


but the Americans as soon as you ask for another citizenship that act of asking for it takes away your American citizenship .

but the <norp>Americans</norp> as soon as you ask for another citizenship that act of asking for it takes away your <norp>American</norp> citizenship .


I mean it 's kind of stupid .


So I 'm an expatriot .


An American expatriot .


An American living abroad .

An <norp>American</norp> living abroad .


I still have to file a tax return .


Do you ?


But my first seventy five thousand dollars worth of income is tax free .

But my <ordinal>first</ordinal> <money>seventy five thousand dollars</money> worth of income is tax free .


Good grief .


As long as I do n't bring it back to the states .


I R S for you , %huh ?


oh they want their share .


They want their piece of meat .


But all foreign taxes are deductible ,


and my taxes here are fifty percent of income .

and my taxes here are <percent>fifty percent</percent> of income .


So the taxes here are so much higher that , yeah I would never have to worry about it .


Unless you became C E O of the company then maybe like a thousand dollars would be taxable , right ?

Unless you became C E O of the company then maybe like <money>a thousand dollars</money> would be taxable , right ?


yeah .


Somehow it raises a small amount .


the problem 's going to %uh be Anya 's American salary is taxable here and at fifty percent

the problem 's going to %uh be <person>Anya</person> 's <norp>American</norp> salary is taxable here and at <percent>fifty percent</percent>


so we 're going to owe some money to the Dutch government on her salary .

so we 're going to owe some money to <org>the Dutch government</org> on her salary .


aw .


Some amount that has to be deducted a certain amount


and the amount we pay the American government is deductible ,

and the amount we pay <org>the American government</org> is deductible ,


but we 'll still owe some taxes .


Th- ,


see I do n't know how it works .


we 're going to be in need of some sort of accountant do it cause I have no clue how that all works .


They do n't have the Quicken Dutch version ?

They do n't have the <product>Quicken</product> <language>Dutch</language> version ?


%ah , you know I would n't trust it because it 's so complicated with this international garbage or else the Turbo Tax with the Dutch modules . that I just would n't trust it .

%ah , you know I would n't trust it because it 's so complicated with this international garbage or else <product>the Turbo Tax</product> with the <language>Dutch</language> modules . that I just would n't trust it .


I do n't know , %eh .


So complicated when you 're dealing with a Dutch tax form .

So complicated when you 're dealing with a <language>Dutch</language> tax form .


Anya had to read it


and Anya and her father did n't understand the damn thing .

and <person>Anya</person> and her father did n't understand the damn thing .


How am I supposed to understand it ?


I 'm really looking forward to moving to Oregon and dealing with ,

I 'm really looking forward to moving to <gpe>Oregon</gpe> and dealing with ,


Oregon you pay state tax


Washington you do n't .


I 'm looking forward to that cause %uh


yeah


but You 'll be a student


so you ,


I mean you 're


what is your income ?


oh , well


See I think y- , %um ,


it 'll probably be about five thousand dollars the portion of this year that I 'm in Oregon

it 'll probably be <money>about five thousand dollars</money> <date>the portion of this year</date> that I 'm in <gpe>Oregon</gpe>


and then next year it 'll be eleven thousand .

and then <date>next year</date> it 'll be <cardinal>eleven thousand</cardinal> .


yeah .


But I mean you 're below the poverty line at that level .


So I mean any income that y-


Well


But then I 've already made say like fifteen thousand or whatever here in Washington

But then I 've already made say <cardinal>like fifteen thousand</cardinal> or whatever here in <gpe>Washington</gpe>


but


That should be non taxable out of state income .


It should


but you know it 's not going to be a fun tax return year .

but you know it 's not going to be a fun tax return <date>year</date> .


I had that when I went into the military .


But then again .


I had Kans- ,


I had to file three taxes .

I had to file <cardinal>three</cardinal> taxes .


I had to file Georgia , Kansas yeah and then my federal .

I had to file <gpe>Georgia</gpe> , <gpe>Kansas</gpe> yeah and then my federal .


So .


Well , %um actually I think this phone call 's just about to end cause it 's only half an hour ,

Well , %um actually I think this phone call 's just about to end cause it 's only <time>half an hour</time> ,


but %um


So let 's see .


I 'll give you a call when we arrive in h- ,


or maybe I 'll just call you when we get in Holland just to let you know we 're there ,

or maybe I 'll just call you when we get in <gpe>Holland</gpe> just to let you know we 're there ,


so if we get in the eighteenth or the nineteenth and then call you back %um when we get to a hotel or something like that .

so if we get in <date>the eighteenth</date> or <date>the nineteenth</date> and then call you back %um when we get to a hotel or something like that .


okay that 's a great idea .


as soon as you get into Holland and get yourself settled you can call me

as soon as you get into <gpe>Holland</gpe> and get yourself settled you can call me


and %uh if it 's at night , just call Anya 's parents

and %uh if it 's at <time>night</time> , just call <person>Anya</person> 's parents


okay so


and remember that if you dial in Holland you need to add a zero

and remember that if you dial in <gpe>Holland</gpe> you need to add a <cardinal>zero</cardinal>


so like right now okay it 's one eight one zero area code .

so like right now okay it 's <cardinal>one</cardinal> <cardinal>eight</cardinal> <cardinal>one</cardinal> <cardinal>zero</cardinal> area code .


If you dial in Holland , it 's zero one eight one zero . okay in Holland

If you dial in <gpe>Holland</gpe> , it 's <cardinal>zero</cardinal> <cardinal>one</cardinal> <cardinal>eight</cardinal> <cardinal>one</cardinal> <cardinal>zero</cardinal> . okay in <gpe>Holland</gpe>


and then yeah you can just call up


if it 's during the work hours , fine , call me at work .

if it 's during <time>the work hours</time> , fine , call me at work .


If not , call Anya 's parents if you do n't have a new phone number for me .

If not , call <person>Anya</person> 's parents if you do n't have a new phone number for me .


And if you do , I 'll send it by email okay if I get it before this weekend

And if you do , I 'll send it by email okay if I get it <date>before this weekend</date>


we 'll email you something


but if you do n't get email then just call Anya 's parents

but if you do n't get email then just call <person>Anya</person> 's parents


If we have a phone by then , they 'll be able to give you the number


okay


and just remember to ask for her mother .


and it 's Goode , right

and it 's <person>Goode</person> , right


Bode


Bode as in abode


abode


minus the A


great


and


yeah


and I think %uh %uh it 's not Frau


%uh %ah %uh It 's Mifrau


is


it 's Frau in German

it 's Frau in <language>German</language>


it 's Frau


mhm


and then Dutch it 's Mifrau

and then <language>Dutch</language> it 's Mifrau


I 'll probably never remember that


so hope they wo n't be offended .


nah do n't worry about it .


You can just call her Missus


you can just call her Missus and speak English to her .

you can just call her Missus and speak <language>English</language> to her .


she understands


just talk slowly and clearly .


okay


and once you 're in Holland the line will be really clear .

and once you 're in <gpe>Holland</gpe> the line will be really clear .


I mean the phones here are pretty good . once you 're in the country .


It 's just these to America


it 's always kind of iffy
