Just one good number...
Tomorrow at 6:00PM, I interview the lady from my old records. It's going to be a phone interview, as she lives in Arizona now.
It was her mother's family who made the records. Her mother is still alive, and she's going to conference her into the call! I wonder if she is Lottie, or Jean, or the woman who joked with the old man about her girdle size...
YOU GUYS: I am totally going to talk to Lottie, or Jean, or the woman who joked with the old man about her girdle size!
I want to do the call on speakerphone, so that I'll be able to record the interview with a tape recorder, and also so that I'll be able to play the records for the old lady, because she's super old and I don't count on her having the wherewithal to listen to them on the internet.
In trying to be thorough and prepared for the conversation, I'm writing down some questions I want to ask. I still haven't formulated a way to present my curiosity about their apparent intoxication, though.
I want this to go smoothly and not be awkward. I imagine that it is a little awkward for this lady to have had her potentially embarrassing home recordings listened to by a whole bunch of strangers. I'm wondering how to adequately express my sympathy for that fact. I'm not good at interpersonal things, so right now I'm just hoping I, uh, don't blow it somehow.
