[speaker001:] okay it's pressed are you still there okay
[speaker002:] I'm ready
[speaker001:] so what's uh things that you look for when you go out to dinner
[speaker002:] oh I just like a nice quiet nice atmosphere
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] and of course good food that's always that's always a concern but just a nice quiet easy place maybe candlelight something
[speaker001:] um um that sounds pretty
[speaker002:] just to relax you know because I don't really go out to dinner that much so
[speaker001:] yeah um-hum well we don't go out to dinner that much either we try to get out maybe like once every month and a half or something like that but
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] I definitely want to go to a place that's nice and clean you know
[speaker002:] right
[speaker001:] um I've been to some that's been terrible you know you see cockroaches crawling around and
[speaker002:] oh
[speaker001:] everything you know but I try to get one that's nice and clean and then I like to you know good food and good service
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] so
[speaker002:] yeah where you don't feel rushed you know and you can just relax and stay as long as you want and
[speaker001:] yeah right right right so is there some nice places to go to eat in Plano
[speaker002:] well nearby we're almost in Dallas we're just north of Dallas
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] so we have quite a bit between us and there it's about ten miles
[speaker001:] um-hum um-hum
[speaker002:] and there is all kinds of restaurants and I had one that was a favorite for a long time and then it changed hands and doubled the prices and then it finally went out of business
[speaker001:] um
[speaker002:] so but it was really nice it had a fireplace and
[speaker001:] um that sounds beautiful
[speaker002:] yeah it was really nice they had entertainment sometimes and you you could just really relax there and enjoy it
[speaker001:] um-hum um-hum um-hum um-hum well this is only a little small city um we have uh
[speaker002:] but it's gone
[speaker001:] excuse me I didn't think my coughing would come back anyhow we have only like one uh restaurant that's kind of nice you know they have prime rib on uh weekends
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] and then then they have about six miles from here is called a little city called Wesley and they have a Wesley Hotel there that they serve food and the atmosphere there is really really nice
[speaker002:] oh that's nice
[speaker001:] so and then if we really want to you know something different then we go to Modesto which is like twenty minutes away
[speaker002:] uh-huh right
[speaker001:] but uh we don't have any fast foods here in this small city
[speaker002:] that's probably very fortunate for you do you have kids
[speaker001:] do I have kids well I have a son but he's grown up
[speaker002:] yeah oh because I have a twelve year old that would eat a happy meal every night you know and now she's graduated to two cheeseburgers so something's happened here but but um
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] you know McDonald's is definitely at the top of her list and I hate these places
[speaker001:] yeah all the kids seem to love McDonald's don't they you know
[speaker002:] so uh-huh they do and I don't think there's an ounce of nutritional value in anything they have so
[speaker001:] no no I'm sure there isn't
[speaker002:] so we have all kinds of fast foods everywhere around and it's really it's tempting when you come home from work and you're tired and
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] you know you just are tempted to give in to that and it costs a lot of money to do it too you know it adds up and it's not healthy and
[speaker001:] I know it's
[speaker002:] I I really got into that habit for a while but I got out of it again because I just felt like it was just too unhealthy
[speaker001:] yeah yeah um-hum
[speaker002:] so
[speaker001:] well let's see what else can we talk about
[speaker002:] well how's California today
[speaker001:] oh it's foggy and cold here
[speaker002:] is it that's what I've heard yeah
[speaker001:] um-hum um-hum yeah it's
[speaker002:] yeah have you always lived there
[speaker001:] I came from Iowa when I was sixteen
[speaker002:] oh
[speaker001:] so I've lived out in California for a long long time yeah I like it real well
[speaker002:] and you like it yeah we've been
[speaker001:] we used to live in Oakland so we used to have a lot more restaurants to go to there
[speaker002:] oh yeah
[speaker001:] you know but uh then I quit work and everything and I moved bought a house I had a condo in Oakland so right in Chinatown so we went to a lots of restaurants and Chinese restaurants
[speaker002:] uh-huh oh that would be fun
[speaker001:] and they were really good I really miss them
[speaker002:] yeah do you miss living there
[speaker001:] you know uh no I really don't miss living there I just like to go in there and have a nice Chinese dinner once in a while you know
[speaker002:] no yeah yeah
[speaker001:] but um as far as missing living there no it's close enough if I wanted to go there to San Francisco for dinner or something why you know
[speaker002:] hum
[speaker001:] an hour and fifteen minutes we could be there and you know have dinner and then come on back but uh
[speaker002:] yeah uh-huh
[speaker001:] have you ever been to California
[speaker002:] oh yeah I I go all the time
[speaker001:] oh really
[speaker002:] yeah well I have a twenty one year old daughter in college there and she um is world champion twirler
[speaker001:] um um-hum
[speaker002:] and her coach is in California so she went there for six years
[speaker001:] um
[speaker002:] so I went out a lot with her
[speaker001:] um-hum um-hum
[speaker002:] and uh yeah I know California pretty well and I love it
[speaker001:] um-hum yeah I guess
[speaker002:] and we tug back and forth who's gonna move but I think he's gonna move because I'm the person with more to lose here I have my twelve year old in school
[speaker001:] um-hum um-hum
[speaker002:] and she's happy she's always lived here in the south and I've had my house so
[speaker001:] um-hum
