[Q]: Michael: Yeah, I think she'll be impressed with my new exercise program. Josh: What? What are you talking about? What exercise program? What did you tell her? Michael: Well, you know, I enjoy staying in shape. [Right] First, I generally get up every morning at 5:30 a.m. Josh: Oh, yeah. Since when? You don't roll out of bed until at least 7:30 p.m. Michael: No, no, and on Mondays and Wednesdays, ... Josh: Ah, not another tall tale ... Michael: I almost always go jogging for about a half hour, you know, to improve my endurance. Josh: Hey, jogging to the refrigerator for a glass of milk doesn't count. Michael: Of course, before I leave, I usually make sure I do some stretches so I don't pull a muscle on my run. Josh: Right. One jumping jack. Michael: Then, I told her that I usually lift weights Tuesdays and Thursdays for about an hour after work. Josh: Humph. Michael: This helps me build muscle strength. Josh: A one-pound barbell. Michael: Finally, I often go hiking on Saturdays with my dog [What dog!?], well, and I like hiking because it helps me burn off stress and reduce anxiety that builds up during the week. Josh: Oh yeah, those lies. Michael: Well, uh, as for Fridays, I sometimes just relax at home by watching a movie or inviting you over to visit. Josh: If I buy the pizza. Michael: But ... bu ... And on Sundays, I take the day off from exercising, but I usually take my dog for a walk. Josh: Forget it. She'll never buy this story. What was said before this conversation?

Answer: W: How do you like group work in Professor Davis'class?
Problem: W: What a good idea, Eric! That would be wonderful. Let me look at my schedule...I could take off a week from Thursday, but no sooner. M: Let me look at my schedule too...Yes, that looks good. W: I thought you had a basketball game every Thursday until the end of the month. M: Oh, you're right. I must have forgotten to write that down. How about the next Thursday after that? Basketball season's over then. Do you know if you can get it off? W: That's Thursday and Friday, the third and fourth? I don't care if I can-I will get off. We need the change. Where would you like to go? New York? M: No, we don't have enough time to go there, and it's too expensive anyway. W: And we want to relax, not run around all the time. I know! Do you remember that little hotel in Wilmington, Vermont, where we stayed years ago? That would be perfect. M: Well, that was July, though. I wonder if they're open in the winter. W: Most likely, during skiing season. Uh...oh, I'd forgotten about skiing season. I don't know if we could get a room. M: I'll call and find out. Do you remember the name? W: It's right on the tip of my tongue...I have it. The Strawberry River Inn. What was said before this conversation?
