here goes Sharon
okay
well what do you think about Nolan Ryan being the first baseball player to earn a million dollars
that's the only thing i found out tonight
oh you found that out tonight i hadn't even heard that that's great i think he deserves every penny of it
yeah
yeah
but there are some others out there that i don't believe deserve the money they're getting
well isn't it funny how baseball's getting less than like football players would
oh yeah
wonder because football
and they play a lot they play a lot longer season too
and a lot more games right
yep that's exactly right
uh-huh
but i think let's see the teams that were there last year were
see somebody from California i don't even know who won the pennant last year
beats me i mean i know Yankees have won a lot of games through the years
yeah not lately though
we have been talking about this i tried to call earlier
uh-huh
and we had made a list of all these uh baseball teams and the cities that they were from then i started cleaning and i don't know where i even put that paper i yeah i was just cleaning and throwing
threw it away oh gosh let's see the teams that i think the A's were in it last year the Oakland A's and i think it was
i don't think it was an all California baseball
well have you ever played baseball
i play softball
well that's what i did when i was growing up
yeah
that was fun
yeah that's fun that's a whole different sport
uh-huh
yeah
let's see but i think i think the Rangers need to go and i think the Pirates will go
and uh
let's see
Rangers have got a new guy this year i don't remember his name either
do you ever go see the Rangers
every once in a while i i like to go on the nights when there's not anybody out there not very many people out there it's a lot more fun when you're not fighting a crowd
yeah i think it's fun i like just looking at the billboards
yeah but sometimes when i if you go out there during the day you just fry under the sun
yeah it's nice at night
yeah
that's when i've been
it is
and and do you know anything about that new stadium have you seen all those pictures that they're going to put out there
well
no
yeah that that huge it's suppose to be a huge stadium and it's going to have little shopping centers in it and little like a lake or something running through it and uh they're going to try to make it a real community center out there
and you're going to be able to buy your what was no wait
of course
what was it about the liquor
that's that's in uh Texas stadium where the football players play
was that
oh yeah see you just
and they're never going to let liquor in there
well they're trying
i know but they try every year and every year they get thrown out
it's so stupid because they let you take it in there but they don't they don't allow you to sell it don't allow them to sell it there
uh-huh
but uh that new stadium's going to be real nice and i heard that there's uh
that you can bid on that stadium last night on the news i heard they said you could you could bid on the stadium to have it named after you
kind of right
it's going to it's going to go to the highest bidder
oh
well that's the way to do it
so
yeah so that could be your you know fifteen minutes of fame
you hear that that's my kids turning on their music let me see Holly turn it down
oh
i think it's the Bartman the Simpsons
oh God i stay away from them
i wish i could
i bet you do
yeah well where are you
in Plano
okay i'm in Garland
oh you are
yeah my husband my husband teaches in Plano
oh what's he teach
C V A E
uh-huh
so what do you do
i teach but i teach for Dallas
oh you do
for right now i'm trying to get out
is that a tough system to be in
uh-huh
real hard
uh-huh i mean it's good because they they try new things you know but it's like
yeah i would think it
they'll try something and then they throw it out and get something else you know and you get tired of that
yeah
that's typical bureaucracy though that's that's i think it's going to be any where you go it's just worse in the bigger cities than it is in the smaller ones i don't know sometimes the smaller ones are just as bad
yeah
well but they can't be though they don't have as much money
yeah but the politics the politics gets worse in the small towns sometimes
most the time
oh man but in Dallas you don't even know who's in in administration there's so many of them
you don't even know who to payoff huh
i mean somebody walks in the classroom and you don't know what they're there for you know when they're coming how long they're going to be
yeah
oh how funny
you know it's just them there they are and they're writing the whole time
no communication whatsoever
no i had them walk out of my class and not say their name anything and i finally got to where i go okay i'm Debbie Moore you know may i ask who you are and what you are in my classroom for
you know because you know you never know where they're going what they'll report or
yeah
i know
and they'll tell you they've written something down and you
and you haven't you and you never see it
hope they're telling you
no huh-uh
that's got to be frustrating
oh it is
how long have you taught taught Dallas schools
uh this is my eleventh year
ooh that's about uh ten too many
no actually it's now my job's
good much better than a lot
yeah
uh-huh
because i'm Chapter One and all i do is teach reading all day long
yeah
oh
and it's just ten children at a time
well that's not bad
no it's good and you've got a lot of federal money too
but hasn't it changed a lot over the years
teaching oh yes
yeah
or working in the system
yes when i first started teaching i remember i went up to my job and i said okay i want to see a curriculum guide you know so i'll know what i'm suppose to teach and they go
we don't have one of we don't even know where one is
oh God
and i go okay i mean you just you did what you wanted to do
oh
how funny
and now they tell you what to teach and how long and
you know what day
yeah you don't know which is you don't know which is worse
what period
yeah no i know which is worse
yeah i guess so yeah being told what to do is worse
um-hum
so how long are we suppose to talk for
well you can talk for ten minutes but you don't have to
oh you can
yeah and no if you talk to ten then they come over on and say oh you've extended your limit and please say good-bye within the next five seconds
oh i haven't ever talked that long
well you know i hadn't either till last night i was talking to this retired administrator from Cleveland Ohio we started talking about gangs you know
oh how funny
he lives in Cleveland
yeah
wow
and everybody else that i've talked to has been right around here
yeah
but she was real interesting
huh
and then tonight this woman called have you taken any incoming calls
the yours is my second one
okay so hers was the first one i got
gotten and uh
oh she was telling me all her problems
and it went over ten minutes
did she did she did you all not talk about the topic at all
well yeah we did but the topic was boring i thought what would you serve uh if you were having a dinner party
oh
oh gosh
what was i'm trying to remember oh the other the one i talked about the other night was good it was
um about movies you know who what have you seen at the movies lately and stuff like that
oh yeah i could go on and on about that
me too because we go all the time the guy i was talking to never goes he was boy it sounds like your really up on this and i said i see at least two a week so
ooh neat
that was real good to talk about that have you seen like uh Silence Of The Lambs
no
you've got to go see that
the last one i saw was Dances Of The With The Wolves Of The Wolves
yeah we talked about that one too and he he said he didn't think it should of gotten all those awards he thought it was too long but
oh i enjoyed it i mean it was just more for my money
i
i did too
yeah i didn't think it was too long at all
um he said after about the first hour he started looking at his watch
huh
the other one you need to go see is Sleeping With The Enemy
uh-huh
and how old are your kids
one is eight and one is eleven
you probably don't want to take them to see Silence Of The Lambs
it's it's not it's not too cool for kids
they usually pick their own
i bet they do
you know they've got it all figured out
yeah they want to see all the horror movies
well and Ninja Turtles
yeah Ninja Turtles got to have those
but most of the time really we watch them on the video
don't you just massive rental
oh yeah you bring that's well heck that's a lot cheaper then uh taking them out to the show
going to
i know
especially if you get them for a couple of nights you don't have to watch them all at one night one time
that's what we do especially when it's bad weather man just
yeah
plug it in
of course you have to get there early if you want to get anything
i know
decent
well
it's good when you go to Tom Thumb though and they're cheap and nobody's got them yet unbelievable
that's true
that's true we saw um
Heroes Has Always Been Cowboys tonight
uh-huh
it was okay it was kind of slow and i felt like it kind of got chopped off at the end you know
it just it and i don't know it one of those movies it's not going to be around long it'll be a dollar movie in no time
do you read
not very much no
no
i don't have the patience to read
see i do that to make myself go to sleep at night
yeah oh my mom and dad read all the time
you saw Field Of the Dreams right a long time ago
yeah sure did
so i was reading the book and it's called Shoeless Joe
oh really
it was so wonderful and then i was um i decided well i like this author so i got a uh book of his short stories and that's been real good
who's the who's the author
don't don't ask me The Ghost Of Shoeless Joe was the name of the book
oh
Shoeless Joe was it like the movie
yes quite a quite a bit but you know in the movie the guy was black
okay
right
he wasn't in the book
huh
that's one difference
there really wasn't a lot of difference
i didn't uh see i never even heard that there was a book tied in with that movie
um-hum
that's interesting
so
that was a good movie too
well do you think we've covered baseball
i think so
okay well have a good night
