FREY: Ah! You’re not pudgy.
PETERSON: Yea, I am.
FREY: Why do you say that?
PETERSON: I don’t know.

these…well, the suits I had here in
Brussels…
FREY: Uh-huh.
PETERSON: Yeah. I tried it on and it
fits, it’s not supposed to fit.
FREY: It’s not supposed to fit?
PETERSON: No, it’s supposed to be really
big cause like pudge boy
________(inaudible).
FREY:
So how much do you weigh now?
PETERSON: I don’t know. I don’t have a
scale. But you will notice that I hit the
snooze on the snooze on the alarm clock this morning because what is it, 7:15
there?
FREY: I don’t even know what time
it is now.
Page 2 of 23
010203 ─ 2215 02-142591
PETERSON: And it was supposed to wake me up at 7:00, but that’s why I hit the
snooze.
FREY: Oh,
geez, all too familiar, your snooze button.
PETERSON: You sound chipper?
FREY: Oh, I always am when I hear
from you.
PETERSON: Chipper’s kind of a bad word.
FREY: Chipper?
PETERSON: Not a bad word, but kind of a gay word.
FREY: Oh, well, it doesn’t to me so…
PETERSON: Chipper?
FREY: Chipper.
PETERSON: So is your little one asleep?
FREY: Oh, last night?
PETERSON: No tonight?
FREY: Oh, didn’t you get my message?
PETERSON: No.
FREY: Um…you didn’t get my message? I…I said goodnight to you.
PETERSON: Oh, did you?
FREY: Huh?
PETERSON: How sweet.
FREY: Um…and now I say my…I told you my sister um…called me today
and said that she was taking the boys to Disneyland and wanted to
take Ayianna. So she got Ayianna.
PETERSON: Oh, wow!
Page 3 of 23
010203 ─ 2215 02-142591
FREY: I know. So um…so I don’t have her tonight. But last night she was
tossing and turning and she fell off the bed.
PETERSON: Oh, no!
FREY: So I jumped up and I turned the light on and then I cam back…I
wanted to pick her up and make sure she was okay and checked
her out and she cried just a little bit and then like went back to
sleep. But this morning she had a little um…blood on her lip.
PETERSON: Oh, no!
FREY: And I was like oh, baby. But she…I mean she seemed fine and
she didn’t have any bumps on her head or anything. She just…I
don’t know what she hit her lip on, but I guess probably the frame
or something.
PETERSON: Oh, gosh! You crashed up Ayianna.
FREY: But she hasn’t fallen in a long time.
PETERSON: Yeah.
FREY: So my poor baby.
PETERSON: How did…how did her forehead heal?
FREY: She has…I mean it’s…there’s…it’s still…there’s actually a little knot
on her forehead still underneath the…you know, where the stitches
are or where that split was.
PETERSON: O-o-h!
FREY: So she was so happy
though. She was all “bye-bye”.
PETERSON: Oh, how sweet.
FREY: She’s all George. It was cute, she was…
PETERSON: Oh, yeah.
FREY: Very, very happy, uh hum.
PETERSON: Cool! So they’re staying down there for the night?
FREY: Yeah.
Page 4 of 23
010203 ─ 2215 02-142591
PETERSON: And then they’ll be back tomorrow night?
FREY: Actually they’re gonna be gone Saturday too or she’ll be back
Saturday.
PETERSON: O-o-h, you’re gonna have to have plans Friday night.
FREY: So, yeah. I was like God, this is going to be the longest I’ve been
without my baby
girl.
PETERSON: Yeah, it’s sad, but good.
FREY: It is…yeah, it is. And I’m
like wow, okay well, because I’ve
always…no Fridays or…well, my mom…my mom’s more
comfortable now. My dad’s still the same, of course, not watching
her for only two hours. But um…so yeah, I’m gonna have to go out
with the girls and
go have some drinks and…
PETERSON: Yeah.
FREY: …um…I
was even thinking about even possibly going to the
movies.
PETERSON: Oh!
FREY: What? I was
gonna say have you heard of any movies? But I
don’t
know if you…they
probably play different things huh?
PETERSON: I watched on the night I left
but _______(voice garbled)
FREY: What was that?
PETERSON: There were a couple that I
wanted to see before I left, but
________
FREY: There was a couple movies?
PETERSON: Yeah. Can you hear that damn dog?
FREY: Yeah, I did now that you
had mentioned it. I hadn’t heard it.
PETERSON: Oh, my God.
FREY: It’s loud. I do hear it
this time, it’s loud.
PETERSON: What is somebody doing with a
dog in the city?
Page 5 of 23
010203 ─ 2215 02-142591
FREY: Well, it’s like my neighbor’s two dogs, they start barking and I’m like
if I’m in the kitchen it’s loud too. I don’t know if you remember
hearing them before
when you were there or…?
PETERSON: No, I don’t.
FREY: So…
PETERSON: It’s crazy, it’s early and they’re barking.
FREY: Well, it’s early. There’s…
PETERSON: Wish I weren’t up yet.
FREY: So uh…you were saying there was a couple of movies
before you left?
PETERSON: Yeah, actually there were now. They were ______________
(inaudible, voice garbled). I’m trying to remember. Hey, can you
do me a favor?
FREY: What?
PETERSON: Can you rent a movie and watch it for me?
FREY: Do what?
PETERSON: Can you rent a movie and watch it for me?
FREY: Sure, what movie?
PETERSON: It’s called Love Affair.
FREY: Okay.
PETERSON: And it’s the one about um…
FREY: What was that?
PETERSON: 8 years ago or so.
FREY: Okay.
PETERSON: With Warren Beaty and um…Annette Benning. And uh…who’s that
lady, the older
lady? Katherine Hepburn.
Page 6 of 23
010203 ─ 2215 02-142591
FREY: Uh-hum.
PETERSON: Yeah.
FREY: You like that movie?
PETERSON: No, no. I just asked you to go rent it and watch it for
me.
FREY: Okay.
PETERSON: That’s all I’m saying.
FREY: Huh?
PETERSON: That’s all I’m saying.
FREY: And then what?
PETERSON: That’s it and I’ll talk to you about it.
FREY: Okay. That’s an odd
request.
PETERSON: Is it?
FREY: Love…Love Affair?
PETERSON: Yeah. I’m pretty sure that’s
what it’s called.
FREY:
Okay.
PETERSON: 8 years ago, Annette
Benning, my hero uh…Warren
Beaty.
FREY: Uh-hum.
PETERSON: And Katherine.
FREY: Okay. Did you have a chance to rent the movie uh…Romeo and
Juliet?
PETERSON: No, I…I haven’t tried. I don’t know if I could get it or not.
I don’t know what language…
FREY: Oh, well, you could probably get a subtitle or something.
PETERSON: Yeah.
I could rent it in French, that would be…
Page 7 of 23
010203 ─ 2215 02-142591
FREY: Yeah, well…well, the thing I mean it’s just the scene in the water is
just so beautiful. I…I mean even if you just watch it…the beginning
is hard to even watch and follow. The first time I ever saw it I
thought oh, my gosh but…
PETERSON: Why?
FREY: Because
it starts out just…I don’t know, it’s just weird.
PETERSON: How come?
FREY: Um…it’s kind of um…almost obnoxious like oh, I don’t even think I
can make it past the first scene.
PETERSON: Do
they speak old English in it?
FREY: Yeah, but modern.
PETERSON: Oh.
FREY: But it grew on me and…
PETERSON: Yeah.
FREY: …but
that one scene. Okay, so when…when should I rent
this movie?
PETERSON: Oh, whenever you can. You know,
I wouldn’t skip Friday night for
it.
FREY: What was that?
PETERSON: Don’t skip Friday night for it.
FREY: Oh, okay.
PETERSON: Get with the girls you’ll be
going with Friday night.
FREY: Yeah, I’ll see. See
like…well, the only thing is uh…Sauki’s in New
York right now.
PETERSON: Oh, is she?
FREY: Yeah. So I’ve
gotta hopefully gather some girls up
Maybe I’ll get…
Page 8 of 23
010203 ─ 2215 02-142591
PETERSON: I’m
sure you could find a bunch.
FREY: Oh! Well, yeah. A lot of
‘em are…already have significant others
so I’ll have to talk the significant others into letting ‘em go.
PETERSON: Oh, you don’t have to talk to them.
FREY: Uh…so. So how was your
day?
PETERSON: It was boring, long, and I’m
tired.
FREY: Yeah.
PETERSON: But I am determined to head on
out.
FREY: Uh-hum.
PETERSON: Maybe
FREY: Start another one huh?
PETERSON: Training a little bit. I’m gonna go for it. I’m gonna go running
maybe.
FREY: What was that?
PETERSON: I ate it yesterday.
FREY: What did you say?
PETERSON: I ate it hard yesterday running.
FREY: Oh! You fell?
PETERSON: Yeah, I was on these uh…cobblestones. They were all on the
sidewalk and at this angle and I turned the corner and just bam. I
got a right hip that’s very, very dark blue.
FREY: Oh!
PETERSON: And I feel like an idiot falling down and er-r-r.
FREY: Did anybody see you?
PETERSON: No, there’s no one out.
Page 9 of 23
010203 ─ 2215 02-142591
FREY: Oh, then you’re okay?
PETERSON: Yeah,
but I hurt.
FREY: Oh, today when Eva picked
up my…Ayianna, I went to sit down in
the chair and I
missed it.
PETERSON: No.
FREY: And she was all…she was
laughing. She said oh, look at you
mommy. Uh…what’d she say, probably a dork or something
PETERSON: Yeah, but a good dork.
FREY: Well, thanks. I don’t know what I was doing, why…
PETERSON: Amber?
FREY: Yeah.
PETERSON: Amber, are you there?
FREY: I’m here.
PETERSON: Amber, hope you’re there and you
can hear me?
FREY: Hello.
PETERSON: Oh, sweetie, I can’t hear you.
FREY: I’m right here.
PETERSON: Amber?
FREY: Yes.
PETERSON: Hey, Amber?
FREY: Yeah. Hello?
PETERSON: Hey.
Okay, yeah, gotcha.
FREY: What happened?
PETERSON: I
don’t know, it just went sh-h-h-h-h.
Page 10 of 23
010203 ─ 2215 02-142591
FREY: Is there like freeway or something by your…where you’re staying
or…?
PETERSON: Well, it’s a pretty major road.
Did you hear the sirens go by a
second ago?
FREY: No, I was just wondering why it cuts out if, you know, heavy traffic
or something?
PETERSON: No, it’s all foggy and a little rainy outside, maybe that has
something to do
with it. And there’s a train, you can hear that?
FREY: Yeah, I can hear a train.
I was just gonna ask you is there a train?
PETERSON: Yeah, there’s a…I imagine that’s the heavy train, but then there’s a
light rail train. I tried to call you from that earlier. Did you get my
message?
FREY: No, I don’t…
PETERSON: I don’t know if it went through, but I was yelling. It was like
uh…what was it, 6:00 o’clock here, so 9:00 your time.
FREY: On what day?
PETERSON: I was on the…
FREY: What day?
PETERSON: Today, or your yesterday, or your today.
My yesterday.
FREY: No. No, I know. See,
that’s confusing.
PETERSON: It’s Friday here, so it’s Thursday there.
FREY: Okay. So you tried calling me…
PETERSON: It was Thursday night.
FREY: Earlier today?
PETERSON: Earlier your day.
FREY: Okay.
PETERSON: Or earlier my yesterday.
Page 11 of 23
010203 ─ 2215 02-142591
FREY: No, I…
PETERSON: I was yelling into the phone and lots of people were looking at me.
FREY: Huh-hum.
PETERSON: I’m sure they could see my…my…my suit that fits.
FREY: Well, I think…
PETERSON: And going he’s pudge boy.
FREY: You’ll be pudge boy, huh? No, I’m uh…my uh…my weight stayed
the same and I still have yet to be consistent at the gym.
PETERSON: Have you been going in the past couple weeks when I haven’t seen
you?
FREY: Have I what?
PETERSON: Have you gone in the last couple
weeks since I haven’t seen you?
FREY: Infrequently. Well, the whole week…like all Christmas week it was
like non-stop. I mean I…it was just non-stop. You know, Christmas
here, Christmas
here, Christmas here. So, of course no um…
PETERSON: Yeah.
FREY: And then this week I’m…I’m
trying to. I’m not doing very good. I’ll
get there but…
PETERSON: Yeah.
FREY: I didn’t put on any weight. Actually I was…
PETERSON: You never do?
FREY: No, I probably won’t ever. As determined as I want to be too, I
can’t.
PETERSON: Well, you look fine. I’m hoping that the condo opened up here right
now. There’s a couple from Belgium, one of the family members
staying in it. I’m in the hotel and normally who’s ever in town gets
the condo, but of course I’m not a shareholder so I don’t get the
condo.
Page 12 of 23
010203 ─ 2215 02-142591
FREY:
Uh-hum.
PETERSON: But um…yeah, I went out of the
hotel, it’s nice and everything.
FREY: What’s that? You know, I
was gonna ask…
PETERSON: It’s nice and everything but the hotels here just
kinda suck.
FREY: I was
gonna ask you if you ever sold your condo?
PETERSON: Yeah, it’s gone.
FREY: You did?
PETERSON: Yeah.
FREY: That’s good.
PETERSON: They didn’t want the car
though. I was hoping they wanted the
condo and the car.
FREY: I know that’s what you had
said um…before.
PETERSON: Yeah.
FREY: And I thought oh, that’s good, you know, a total package deal.
PETERSON: ______________ (inaudible).
FREY: I’m glad that worked out
for you.
PETERSON: Yeah, I had the car trucked up to Sacramento. It’s sitting in
someone’s yard right now and…but anyway.
FREY: So, anyway today…
PETERSON: Yeah. So I was hoping I would get in the condo so I would have
more room. Maybe I could like do pushups or something pathetic.
FREY: Well, again, uh…I can’t see that you’ve…you’ve put on that much
weight in such a short time.
PETERSON: Oh, I think so. Um…______________________ (inaudible).
FREY: Well, all I know is the last time I saw you, you looked very sexy
so…
Page 13 of 23
010203 ─ 2215 02-142591
PETERSON: Thank you.
FREY: …it’s just hard for me to imagine you saying that.
PETERSON: You’re very nice. So today, what did you do with your day?
FREY: My day? Hum.
PETERSON: I mean what time did
Ayianna get picked up.
FREY: Um…you know, I’m not…it was
later in the afternoon. Um…I
worked this morning. It was oh, probably…well, actually it was just
before I called you to say good night. So I don’t know it was around
2:30 or so is when she left, when she came through and picked her
up so…
PETERSON: Are they going to Disneyland or
to California Adventure?
FREY: I think…well, aren’t they
same thing? I don’t know. I, myself, I
don’t even know. I’ve only…I haven’t been to Disneyland for like
12, 13, years so…
PETERSON: Yeah.
FREY: Um…I think…well,
Disneyland. So I don’t know what the California
thing is.
PETERSON: Yeah.
FREY: Um…
PETERSON: And just her or did um…did
boyfriend go with?
FREY: Yeah. No, the boyfriend
and both boys cause they have another
week out of school,
or the rest of the week out so…
PETERSON: So both boys and
Ayianna?
FREY: Uh-hum
PETERSON: Sister and the boyfriend?
FREY: Uh-hum
PETERSON: So you saw the boyfriend again?
Page 14 of 23
010203 ─ 2215 02-142591
FREY: No, he wasn’t with her at this time. He was gonna…I don’t know
where he was at but…
PETERSON: Yeah.
Do you trust him completely?
FREY: Um…well, I…I got to spend some time with him
uh…last Sunday,
our Christmas, on the 20…whenever that was.
PETERSON: Oh, yeah.
FREY: So actually I was able to spend some time with him. And, you
know, I felt better, you know, being able to because before he was
always leaving, you know, and I never…you remember I mentioned
that before about him being in the bathroom outside or never being
in the same room
with me?
PETERSON: Yeah.
FREY: And he actually…he stayed
in the, you know, I spent a whole day
there so I spent a whole day with him as well. And so we had
personal conversations so, you know, and she’s been with him and
I feel more comfortable. I mean, but the more foremost I…you
know, I trust her
with my sister and stuff.
PETERSON: Yeah, of course. She wouldn’t
leave Ayianna with him alone or
anything?
FREY: I don’t think so.
PETERSON: I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have
asked you.
FREY: I know. I know, you’re
gonna scare me. Why are you saying that?
PETERSON: It’s not my place, I’m sorry.
FREY: Well…well, I mean it just shows you’re concerned. I mean…I don’t
know, do you feel something that I shouldn’t?
PETERSON: No, I just don’t know.
FREY: You know, uh…yeah, I mean…
PETERSON: It’s not my place to ask and
it’s not my place to ask to worry you or
anything, I was
just wondering. Anyway, so off the topic.
FREY: Okay.
Page 15 of 23
010203 ─ 2215 02-142591
PETERSON: So, yeah, you had a relaxing evening I hope? I hope you did
something exciting.
FREY: Tonight, no. I…well, I
went and had some tacos and beans and
rice at Casa de
Cronos uh…with a friend.
PETERSON: Yeah, good.
FREY: And uh…
PETERSON: You need more time like that,
huh?
FREY: Yeah, it’s good. It’s good
for, you know, just keep my mind
occupied and, you know, and just get away from my stressful
month and find a hiding place. It’s a little stressful.
PETERSON: Really?
FREY: Yeah, a little bit. Yeah,
just…yeah, last month was really good,
um…nice little, you know, certificates and just, you know, had that.
And this month I don’t know how it’s
gonna look like so…
PETERSON: Yeah.
FREY: I just stay positive.
So, yeah. Actually I had um…yeah, I think I
might probably go down to a movie tomorrow and I don’t know,
contemplate…
PETERSON: Go down where?
FREY: To a movie.
PETERSON: Oh, okay.
FREY: And just contemplate if I
want to go out and do anything crazy or
not but…
PETERSON: Yeah, you should.
FREY: Maybe just to have…maybe go have some drinks and just hangout
and catch up.
PETERSON: Amber, baby, do some wild dancing.
Page 16 of 23
010203 ─ 2215 02-142591
FREY: Yeah, I haven’t done that for a while. Even when, you
know, the dance I didn’t really get to because I was so constricted
by my dress.
PETERSON:
FREY: So you think I should go
out and go wild and crazy, huh?
PETERSON: Yeah.
FREY: But… I won’t say that, that’s mean.
PETERSON: What’s that?
FREY: I was
gonna say well, what if…well…well, it’s not mean but I…
PETERSON: What is it?
FREY: It’s just…the only thing is
I’m putting myself in a situation of having
to beat off the guys
PETERSON: Yeah, that’s gotta be fun for your ego?
FREY: Well…
PETERSON: If you want to?
FREY: Yeah, I don’t know if that’s really me. It’s not necessarily. It can
be, but usually the thing is the ones that I have to beat off are
uh…
PETERSON: And don’t tell me some lie now,
give me a break.
FREY: …are
just slimy guys.
PETERSON: Oh, you are so lying to me.
FREY: What?
PETERSON: I didn’t do that. I trusted you.
FREY: What?
PETERSON: I trusted you until that comment.
FREY: What do you mean you trusted me?
Page 17 of 23
010203 ─ 2215 02-142591
PETERSON: There is no…I mean yeah, okay, I finally found this guy whose got
enough self-esteem like try to pick you up. I imagine the guys
picking you up are
pretty damn attractive.
FREY: Well, I mean it’s…there’s a
tossup. I mean, you know, I don’t know.
I just…you know, to put myself in that position is…is the only thing,
you know, or that to be expected. And that kinda sounds bad
doesn’t it?
PETERSON: No, that’s good.
FREY: That’s a little conceited, huh?
PETERSON: No, it’s um…it’s the truth. The truth can’t be
conceited, right?
FREY: Well, if you look at, you
know, that way then no.
PETERSON: It’s not ego if it’s the truth or you’ve heard something
similar to that. But hey, go out and get crazy and do some dancing.
Turn on the guys.
FREY: Yeah, maybe I’ll uh…yeah,
I’m thinking…I’m thinking of a group of
people.
PETERSON: All right! Do I know them?
FREY: Uh…well, you’ve seen a picture of my friend, Famous, and Jen.
Sauki of course can’t be there because she’s in Paris. I called and
talked to her today.
PETERSON: Who’s that?
FREY:
Sauki.
PETERSON: Oh, I thought you said New York.
FREY: What did I say?
PETERSON: Paris.
FREY: I’m thinking…
PETERSON: New York the first time, Paris the second time.
FREY: What was that?
Page 18 of 23
010203 ─ 2215 02-142591
PETERSON: You
said New York the first time, Paris the second time.
FREY: Oh, yeah. No, she’s in New
York.
PETERSON: Okay.
FREY: No, I think that is because she was in Paris last year for New Year’s
and she was like tell him that’s where I was and it was fun. And so
now she’s in New York and she was saying she was at something,
Park Boulevard or some place, she said it was really nice, it was
candlelit. And I was like okay. Well…I said well, you have a good
time and I’m jealous.
PETERSON: Anything with an address park in it is
gonna be all right.
FREY: Yeah. So she was bragging
a little bit.
PETERSON: Good. So Famous Amos is a fun guy to go out with?
FREY: Oh, yeah, he’s funny.
PETERSON: Yeah.
FREY: You know, I was thinking we were supposed…we should be getting
that uh…video from that art show thing um…soon.
PETERSON: Good. Excellent.
FREY:
So that should be embarrassing
PETERSON: Yeah, excellent. I can’t watch
it here though unfortunately.
FREY: No __________(inaudible).
PETERSON: What’s that?
FREY: I said well so many things now that you have when you get back to
do.
PETERSON: Amber?
FREY: Yeah.
PETERSON: Amber? Amber? Amber?
FREY: Yes.
Page 19 of 23
010203 ─ 2215 02-142591
PETERSON: Oh,
don’t be gone. Amber?
FREY: I’m here.
PETERSON: Amber, I think…I barely heard you.
FREY: I’m right here. I…can you hear me?
PETERSON: Okay, yeah, perfect now.
FREY: Okay. You get all…I can
hear you though. When…when you can’t
hear me, I can still hear you.
PETERSON: Oh, good. Except for when I call and you said there was a blank
message and I was talking the whole time.
FREY: Well, yeah. No, there’s…there has been some times um…
PETERSON: By the way those are amazing messages that I leave.
FREY: Well, I wish I could hear them cause…
PETERSON: I know, it’s unfortunate. They’re…it’s incredible. They would…they
would cheer you up and then your heart would swoon and then you
would laugh in stitches and you wouldn’t be able to function for
hours.
FREY: Oh, well. So, well, what’s wrong with leaving me the message now then?
PETERSON: Oh, I would have to leave them independently.
FREY: What?
PETERSON: I have to leave them independently.
FREY: Oh!
PETERSON: Yes.
FREY: Well, maybe I’ll intentionally miss a call so I can get one.
PETERSON: There you go.
FREY: You’re so funny.
Page 20 of 23
010203 ─ 2215 02-142591
PETERSON: Okay, so you’ll go out with Famous and what are the other names I
didn’t hear?
FREY: What was that?
PETERSON: Who…who else?
FREY: Oh, I was thinking maybe Jen and uh…
PETERSON: Yeah. Call ‘em up, set it up, and go ahead and go crazy.
FREY: I know. You know, it’s funny though they had asked me a couple
times before and I was just like I can’t, I can’t go anywhere.
PETERSON: Oh, that to go out?
FREY: Yeah. So hopefully they don’t…you know, they’re able to as well.
PETERSON: You’ve got to take advantage.
FREY: I am, definitely am. Definitely.
PETERSON: Sweetie?
FREY: Yeah.
PETERSON: Okay, you’re back?
FREY: Yeah, definitely. Well…
PETERSON: Take advantage, baby.
FREY: Except I’m not going to um…drink as much as I did on uh…New
Year’s.
PETERSON: No, you felt bad the next day?
FREY: A little bit, yeah. And I don’t know if you could tell on the phone, but
yeah.
PETERSON: Yeah, I couldn’t tell. You were fine.
FREY: No, I was pretty…oh, man, I had…my head hurt a little bit and I was
just…yeah Yeah. So…
PETERSON: Okay, baby, I’m gonna hit the road here, I’m gonna jog.

FREY: Okay.
PETERSON: I got my nylon pants on, I got my shoes, and I’m gonna eat it if I try
that corner again.
FREY: Yeah, I was gonna say no…no tripping on cobblestones and stuff.
PETERSON: I’ll try not to. It’s so cool running in the um…square down there. It
was unbelievable when the sun started to come up and these
amazing churches. It’s really beautiful.
FREY: Oh, hey, I remember what I wanted to ask. Um…Michael Sanoye,
when I was talking to them about wanting to take Ayianna up t the
snow?
PETERSON: Uh-hum.
FREY: And they said they wanted to go and I said that would be great
because they have a sports utility vehicle in which…
PETERSON: Yeah.
FREY: …you know, that would be a lot better than taking my car so…
PETERSON: Yeah.
FREY: Um…so I was telling ‘em uh…that you were reading some book
about hiking and stuff but…
PETERSON: Uh-hum.
FREY: Um…and then I had mentioned
that, you know, you had mentioned
that. And then I said that I had taken you up to Squaw’s Leap and,
so I was wondering if that would be a good place to take them to
or…?
PETERSON: Yeah.
FREY: Do you think that would be a…?
PETERSON: Uh...you wouldn’t see any snow, but it would be fun.
FREY: I…
PETERSON: Unless the snow level dropped a lot there.

FREY: You know, it has. But, you know, you’re right, I don’t think it’s high
enough.
PETERSON: What is it? It’s about…you need like 5,000 feet or so?
FREY: I have no idea.
PETERSON: Yeah.
FREY: No idea.
PETERSON: Go buy a little snowboard and go for it.
FREY: No, I…I…well, I had sold my snowboard. I just…I don’t know if I’m
ready to do that again.
PETERSON: She’s gonna fall.
FREY: What was that? Ayianna?
PETERSON: She’s good at falling.
FREY: Yeah. But she’s still…she’s young for snowboarding.
PETERSON: Naw, she’s ready.
FREY: Another year, one more
year.
PETERSON: Okay. Fair enough.
FREY: One more year, she’s still too young for that. She doesn’t
understand.
PETERSON:
FREY: So, well, that’s right. You know, well, I do want to go and um…after
the rains, like March is…I’d like to go there with you.
PETERSON: It is still raining?
FREY: Huh?
PETERSON: It is still raining?
FREY: Oh, it’s not raining here, no.

PETERSON: No?
FREY: No, I was saying after the rains in March. Um…April is like the best
time to go up there. I said I wanted to go with you after all the
uh…wild flowers have bloomed and stuff.
PETERSON: Yeah, definitely, we will make that trip when the butterflies and the
wild flowers…
FREY: Yeah.
PETERSON: And we will make a trip to uh…the monarch capital of the world
also.
FREY: Isn’t that in uh…Yellowstone?
PETERSON: Nope, not as far as I know.
FREY: Where’s that.
PETERSON: That will be a surprise for you.
FREY: What is…monarch capital, is that what you said?
PETERSON: That’s what they call it, monarch capital of the world.
FREY: And it’s not Yellowstone?
PETERSON: I don’t think so, but it might be.
FREY: Oh, I don’t know.
PETERSON: Well, what I’m thinking of is not Yellowstone, but there might be a
bunch of monarchs in Yellowstone.
FREY: Hum. Well, that would be absolutely beautiful. Hello?
