I live in the midwest. I have a twin sister. I have been a dentist for 14 years. My wife and I sleep in separate rooms. My favorite precious metal is gold.
Speaker 2
I have three cats and two dogs. I work in a large grocery store. I didn't finish college but I want to go back. Growing up in a small town was the best. My first car was a ford.
Speaker 1
I have a twin sister. I have a wife. I am a dentist. I want to go to Alaska. I want gold. I love dogs. I never had a cat.
Speaker 2
I am from a small town. I work at a grocery store. I never finished college. I don't like travelling. I love cars. I have two dogs and three cats.
Speaker 1
Hello, welcome to the neighborhood!
Speaker 2
Hi! I grew up in a small town and loved it.
Speaker 1
Wonderful! I think you know my twin sister.
Speaker 2
Really? I'm employed at a big grocery store. Does she work there?
Speaker 1
No, she works at my office. I've been a dentist for 14 years here in town.
Speaker 2
Oh. I never did finish college, but one day I plan to return.
Speaker 1
I want to go to alaska to mine for gold, it's my favorite.
Speaker 2
Not into traveling, but I love cars and my first was a ford.
Speaker 1
Are you married? I am, my wife and I don't sleep in the same room, she snores!
Speaker 2
Not married, but have two dogs and three kitties.
Speaker 1
I love dogs! Never had a cat though.
Speaker 2
Cats can be just as devoted as dogs.

Speaker 1
Has it been busy lately at the grocery store?
Speaker 2
It's always busy at the grocery store.  I mostly stock shelves and you'd be amazed at how fast stuff disappears after I put it out.
Speaker 1
I can only imagine, especially with how things are lately. Grocery shopping is actually something I enjoy believe it or not.
Speaker 2
That's interesting!  Most people I see shopping seem to feel it's a burden, especially if the store is bustling.  What is it about the experience that you like?
Speaker 1
It's my quiet time away from the house and work. My life feels so busy and crazy sometimes I like that time to just breathe.
Speaker 2
I can understand that.  Other than needing to get away from it at times, how do you like your work as a dentist?
Speaker 1
It's pretty enjoyable, actually. Some people have really poor dental hygiene and it's sad seeing how bad their mouth can be. I enjoy helping them.
Speaker 2
I should really take better care of my teeth.  How often should I be brushing and flossing?  I figure I should get some free dental advice while I have your attention.
Speaker 1
Haha, brush at least twice a day. Floss at least once. That'll help in between dental visits.  I have the craziest dream to quit being a dentist though.
Speaker 2
Oh really!  Do you think your dream meant anything?  Did it reveal some deep truth about what you really want to do?  And in the dream did you plan to become something else, or just to quit?
Speaker 1
I dream about traveling to Alaska and getting rich panning for gold. Is that crazy? It seems crazy, but the adventure could be wonderful
Speaker 2
I think it is crazy, yes.  No, just kidding!  I think we all have different dreams and goals.  I wonder if there's a way to satisfy that itch without giving up your entire life.  I bet there are tours in Alaska where you can spend a week panning for gold and living like a  prospector.  Maybe you could take a vacation like that.

Speaker 1
Did you end up buying some toothbrushes and toothpaste from your grocery store?
Speaker 2
Yes! I highly recommend Trader Joes toothpaste! It makes my teeth feel like I just left the dentist's office. Have you ever tried it? 
Speaker 1
No, but I think I'll give it a try! Is it organic or something?
Speaker 2
Yeah, it's organic and all natural. I have never tried a better toothpaste. It has a nice fresh taste, not too sweet.
Speaker 1
As a dentist, I have to endorse fluoride toothpaste, but if a product will get you brushing, that's the most important part. Do you work for Trader Joe's, or just shop there?
Speaker 2
This one does have fluoride. I was surprised as well, but I guess fluoride is a naturally occurring element. I work there and shop there, I get a decent discount. Do you ever shop there?
Speaker 1
From time to time, yeah. My wife loves the chocolate coffee that they sell there! Gotta keep her happy haha.
Speaker 2
I haven't tried that, sounds delicious though! They have a nice coconut body butter that she might like, if she's into stuff like that.
Speaker 1
If we go Alaska, I might have to pick up some of that! You seem to have a good instinct for health products and such.
Speaker 2
Thanks! Have you guys talked more about Alaska, set any dates or anything?
Speaker 1
It's still kind of pie in the sky at this point. She's worried about leaving her job behind. She works as a cardiac surgeon, and she has a great position at the hospital in town. That said, more remote areas tend to pay more, so I'm sure she could find a high-income position in Alaska.
Speaker 2
Oh wow, I didn't know moving to Alaska was the goal. I thought you just wanted to visit for a vacation. Maybe you could start with a trip there, see how you guys like it.

Speaker 1
My wife said she is wiling to go to Alaska for a trip so it looks like we will go this summer.
Speaker 2
That sounds like fun!  What are you going to do up there?
Speaker 1
I really want to take in the scenery and get a feel for some of the communities.  With my wife's job we need to be closer to the cities if we ever decide to move.  I think this is like a scouting trip.
Speaker 2
Alaska is really big.  Where are you scouting out?
Speaker 1
Well, most of the population of Alaska is in Anchorage so we need to check that out.  That said, a good cardiac surgeon could be a real boon to places like Juneau.  Have you ever been to Alaska?
Speaker 2
I have not been to Alaska.  I don't like to travel.
Speaker 1
I just wasn't sure if maybe you went when you were younger.  I have a feeling that if Alaska is as good as I think it is, I may never want to travel much either!
Speaker 2
Are you thinking of moving there?
Speaker 1
It's the dream, which is why this trip could be so important.  Enough about me!  What are the names of your five pets?
Speaker 2
I'm glad you are following your dreams.  You don't want to live a life of regret.  My dog's names are Moose and Jake while my cat's names are Mittens, Muffin, and Chef.
Speaker 1
Such cute names! Is Moose huge?  I want to see how this trip goes, but I might be getting dogs (either here or in Alaska).
Speaker 2
Yeah Moose is a black lab that weighs 80 pounds.  We like to wrestle each other.

My sister just came for a visit
Speaker 2
How was it? Did she enjoy the trip?
Speaker 1
Yes she did. We went to Alaska. I've made up my mind to move there.
Speaker 2
Oh my gosh, that's great! I know that's been your dream for so long! Is your wife looking for a job there?
Speaker 1
I know right? She really loved it. She is thinking of starting a practice there whilst I'm thinking of training huskies as a side business.
Speaker 2
Oh my gosh, you guys are really living  your dreams! That's amazing! I would love to come visit once you get settled up there. 
Speaker 1
You are most welcome. I'm sure the dogs would love it. Have you ever been to Alaska?
Speaker 2
Nah, I'm not much of a traveler, but I'd be willing to leave home to come see you guys! And i'd like to see a moose.
Speaker 1
They've got lots of them plus the people are so friendly. How's things at work?
Speaker 2
It's fine. I'm getting kind of bored with it though. I'm thinking it might be time to finish my degree.
Speaker 1
Oh really? What were you previously studying?
Speaker 2
I did all my gen ed classes but then dropped out because I needed to make money, so I can really go in any direction. I'm thinking computer science?
