Termite TV - Life Stories

Hi, my name is Ted B, We're sitting on my front lawn, this is the house I grew up 3506 Gregory street, this is the street I grew up on, I recently purchased the house from my mom and dad, my mom and dad decided the house was too big, so they moved to the suburbia. It's further west side, over by Vitons golf course. The house they bought is actually bigger then the house they had. Now I own the house, the tenants moved in last night, renting it out, the guy's going to be the new Spanish... no Japanese teacher at the high school, that's the high school I went to. Been a difficult transition for me, ya know, this is the only house I've ever known. It's kind of been the focal point when I come back home, this is home, but now I don't have that really. I thought by purchasing the home I would kinda... keep that home. But it's completely different without my folks here. It's been a lot of work just cleaning. I'm kinda at a cross roads right now, in my life. I'm trying to decide if I should stay in the navy, the navy's my career so far, last 11 years. Which means 9 more years till retirement. Or do I get out and if I get out what do I do. Obviously Delta Airlines, American United, they're all hiring. The prospect of being an airline pilot, is a lucrative one. Excuse me while I answer this phone. That was my mother, probably telling me to pick more beans or something as if I don't have enough to do right now. Anyway, so that dilemma, whether I should stay in the navy or get out, is weighing heavily on my shoulders. And I'm supposed to give my air wing the notice when I get back from this leave, which expires in two days, on Saturday. Yea, big decision, this has sort of been the chronology of my life and it's kinda the current affairs of my life. Everything before has led up to this point. Madison still is home to me, ultimately I think I'll still move back to Madison. It's a parasite community. It lives off the university and the state capital. It's a nice, middle class, white neighborhood. It's not really a real city but it's still home. And I guess in the vast scheme of things, it's a pretty good place to be situated, to be living in. A lot of my friends are still back here, some are still living in the Midwest. Mike Anula and this monstrosity of a ugly bus they just parked in front of my house. Well Mike used to be from Madison, but he's moved away. And theirs been a few that've moved away. Sooner or later everybody seems to come back to Madison. I hope to be one of those. It might be in 10 or 15 years when I get out of the navy. My brother, he's been living over seas for last 10 years. He's a musician, classical guitarist. He just got accepted to Princeton University to get his Ph D., so it's nice to have him moving back. Right now he's living in Portland Maine. He'll be living in Princeton, New Jersey, he'll be close by. We just finished having lunch, here in the park, it was nice. Went down to Pasquales, picked up some burritos. The park is one thing I've missed so much, we had a frisbee golf course set up here, that only the neighborhood kids knew about. The championship frisbee golf course, I miss frisbee golf, I hate real golf. Traveling with the navy, I don't have that kind of connection, such as I did with the frisbee golf course. You lose your footing when you're traveling constantly. And every 2, 3 years your moving. So to that end, I really hope to be moving back here, to Madison. That's really all I have.
