oh uh so what's what's your favorite exercise
well my
i guess uh sports uh i'm don't play as much sports as i used to because i'm i'm too old for it now
but uh i still play golf
i like to bowl although i hadn't bowled in quite a while
but i guess my main exercise right now is probably golf
oh that's pretty good exercise you do you drive a cart or do you carry your bag
uh this last tournament i was in i walked nine holes and almost dropped so i shared a cart
yeah it gets a long ways after a while
yeah especially on a real hilly course
yeah
oh let's see i i play racquetball mostly
yeah
um
i don't play very much anymore because i've fractured my right ankle twice
oh
and uh fractured it on both sides and so it's kind of weak i'm afraid to get out there and try it again
um
they have a real nice uh health club there at TI Lewisville racquetball courts and uh hand ball courts and
it's a real nice facility i just haven't taken advantage of it yet though
do do do they give the employees time off during the day to go
no not really
a lot of places do that now they'll they'll set aside you know like an hour a day that you can go exercise
yeah
yeah
that's a pretty good idea because people who take advantage of it end up in better health and saves them on health care
yeah
yeah
um
yeah i like bowling too i haven't been for a while just don't have the time
yeah
but uh
i guess bowling and racquetball's about it for me walking every once in a while but
yeah
not a great deal of that
yeah
i've i wish they'd split that bowling season up into uh
three seasons
um-hum
right now they have a real short season and a real long season
um-hum
the summer league is just too long
yeah
well that's my uh i mean every time i've tried to go you know it's always there's there's always a league bowling
yeah yeah
and it it's just so you either have to wait or
yeah
you're next to to league bowlers and after a while it just gets to be a pain
yeah yeah there's there's hardly no open alleys anymore it's all
yeah
yeah especially here in Raleigh we've got such little bitty bowling alleys
all taken up
yeah
little bitty everything here
but uh
also TI has some good uh uh some good jogging tracks
every once in a while while i'm sitting there eating lunch i'll look look out and see people jogging
i guess on their lunch hour
yeah um a friend of mine works at uh IBM in Charlotte
yeah
and they've got a real nice building down there on a great big piece of land
and it's a huge plant i mean this thing's just enormous and that's what they do at lunch time they go out and run around the building
yeah
i'm not i was never into jogging
i hated that when i was in high school playing football coach was always making us run
yeah
yeah i just sort of hated it from that point on
well
i i guess i would love to play basketball but
but i don't i don't think i'd have the wind for that i guess of all the sports that probably gives you more exercise than any any sport there is
yeah it's that's a tough one to play i i used to play it when i was younger but
yeah
took it out of me then and i'd hate to think what it would do to me now
yeah
but uh
yeah i got to stick to more sedate sports
yeah
yeah i i
as soon as i as soon as i can find me an ankle a good uh a good ankle brace i'm going to start playing some racquetball again but i'm not going out there with an unsupported ankle anymore
yeah
yeah
i'm tired of running around on crutches for two months at a time
and i'm not lucky enough to just go ahead and break it you know the things got to get fractured so that it never heals properly
yeah
yeah
you might have to go to those old old old-timey high top tennis shoes that they used to wear
well i've got a pair of those uh that's those are the ones that i wear when i go out there um
yeah
yeah
trouble is i can't get them tight enough
tight enough to really support your ankle
to to really give me what i feel is support um so i'm i i i think probably just an ace bandage would work
yeah
yeah
but i want to get one of those um padded ankle
yeah
what you call its
only bad thing about an ace bandage if you wrap it tight enough so that really supports your ankle it's going to cut off the blood
yeah it's going to cut off the circulation yeah yeah i i think i tried that one time a couple years ago and it did the same did that same thing
yeah
you end up loosening it up and then of course you don't have any
yeah
yeah i think i'll probably just have to go with one of those splint braces or something
yeah
but um
well i guess that's about it for exercise
that's about it as far as exercise
us old guys just don't do it very much do we
no
unless unless you c all pushing yourself away from the table more exercise
well that's that's good exercise and i don't do enough of that either
i sat down to a double dose of spaghetti tonight i
yeah well i was cooking me a grilled cheese
um i like grilled cheese too
yeah cheese is bad for you i know
well you know i i i wonder though it's i think it really depends on the person
yeah
i was reading an article in the paper the other morning these doctors are baffled about this eighty seven year old man who eats thirty boiled eggs a day
yeah
did you see that
yeah yeah i heard about it
and they're wondering where does that cholesterol go
yeah i think it it's all in the metabolism of of the
it i think it is too And i and i think things like eggs and cheese anything like that i think it just depends on who you are
yeah
because uh i know people who eat tons of that kind of stuff and they're just as healthy as can be
yeah
i mean i'm i'm sort of strange in a way i'm i'm about twenty pounds overweight and i smoke but my blood pressure is about my last reading was just the other day it was one hundred two over seventy nine
well that's that's the same with me i do both and my blood pressure is i think it was the last time i took it it was a hundred and hundred and ten over seventy or something like that
yeah good and low
yeah
and uh i mean you'd think by looking at me my i'd have a bad heart and everything terrific heart great blood pressure
yeah
yeah
jeez i'm not worried about it
no if you didn't eat if you knocked off everything that they say is not good for you to eat uh you'd be just about down to bread and water
yeah exactly and and and even then you've got to watch the bread and the water
yeah it would have to be a diet bread
yeah you never know what's in the water either
well it's been nice talking with you
well good talking to you you have yourself a good night
okay you too
talk thank you talk to you later
bye-bye
