Hi, I'm Alex and this is my father. He's deaf and I'm not. Join us as we share a father-son
conversation over a bite to eat and I start to learn that he's got a unique little way
of saying things to me. This is Dine and Sign.
What's the problem?
Finally! You-
I've been traveling to San Francisco! I've been thinking about many things, experience,
finally i'm back from San Fran. What do you think about the trip?
I can't see. I don't know.
I filmed a little bit! You can see the apartment on line.
Business related. Business.
Business is happening. I wanted to come back, I know we were talking about one big thing,
bread making. We made our own bread. You love the new mixer. Why did you buy the mixer?
Buy in the store. Boring same, same. I feel this is different. It tastes outrageous. My
own made is better.
It's fun we created wheat-white bread.
The stores aren't like that. Why don't the stores make it like that?
Tastes better or worse? Which one?
Better than the store.
Why? Because you hand made it?
This is a different kind. More solid. Firm. Store? Like a sponge.
Sponge can create more bread. If it's dense, more material into it.
That's them. Price I see more economical.
You think it's worth it?
Yes.
Why? Because it's more dense?
No more dense is cheaper. You have to buy the machine once, yes. But really maybe it's
almost even. But quality of life..
How much would you sell this bread. If you made it for someone.
I won't sell it. I'll never sell it.
Why?
I don't want to pay taxes.
What if it was tax free bread?
Can't.
Call it "Dad's Tax Free Bread".
That's not allowed.
The internet allows.
It must be out of state.
Out of Massachusetts. Sell bread.
If in Mass? I'm stuck!
Say sorry. Meet me in Connecticut
Come and pick up? No pick ups. Better nothing. Myself eat. That's it.
Right now it's the playoffs. Patriots Super Bowl, football-
Not superbowl, AF- AFC Championship
They will go to the Super Bowl.
I hope so.
Before you played football at deaf school, right? That's it? Organizations, what else
deaf activities? I remember when I played football, you told me you used to play, the
same as dad, played football, hearing, but I realize, dad was deaf and playing football.
How?
Watch the ball. I've got sensitive eyes. I'm proficient at seeing. Sensitive. Hearing I-
Until. Deaf.
Like an owl.
The ball moves. I see movement, move? go.
Hearing is speak and follow hearing. I know.
I there they have one deaf NFL player. I think. True? I'm making it up?
Long time ago, one. Yes.
Possible for deaf to play in the NFL?
Hard.
Why?
Speaking. Now the huddles - I notice the pro's don't have a huddle anymore. Now the plays
roll into the next one with speaking. Deaf would be lost. Deaf - silly.
You think they can have a Deaf NFL team?
Can't!
Why not?
False start, false start for sure. It's different. Plus deaf are a little bit slow. The ball
moves, then they go. Speaking- you hear it and go. The same. Deaf is a little bit late,
but-
I think what special deaf activities in school or after work you feel are special to deaf,
and you love it, at school, before you had what?
Really a long time ago I little forgot. Long time ago 1975 to now. 50 years, almost 50
years. I little forgot. If I referred the year book maybe I would remember. I don't
have a yearbook, I lost it.
You wish you had bread making before high school
It would be nice.
Before I had home ec.
School have class - economics, but I never go to class.
Why?
For woman. Long time ago old fashioned. Women over there, men different. Now?
Mechanic.
Autobody. I never in. So far I printing. Focused on printing.
Graphics and design.
Not design, hot melting, put in the machine. Letters, it's wonderful, mold from the machine.
Then printing old fashioned. Really very slow. Now paper.
Laser printer.
Fast.
Worth it?
That technology was what I had a long time ago.
But same bread we took an hour, two hours, bread took hours to cook, but feel the value
went up because I made that. Buy store, so what, I don't care. So printing feels like
my art. Work with your hands. Now we buy, buy, buy. Value decreases. You believe it's
true.
It's true right, but time. You work a job, no time to make bread. Time.
You think people work too much?
