bear report

I have had difficulty recording Bear's distinctive voice since he can tell when I begin recording. All those years of reporting have not apparently enabled me to be subtle. (Listen to discussion below.) So I have been driven to writing down his remarks, though they don't sound as good in print.
   Re his recent weight gain: " My britches are gettin so damn tight. They don't slide up and down the way they ort to."
   Re his mother's death: "When they finally decided she had cancer she was done ate up."
   And, most commonly, when I give him something to eat he's never had before, like, say, miso soup or quinoa, he either says, "It's not too bad" or "It's alright, I guess." When I ask him whether that means he likes it or doesn't like it, he says it can mean either one. "It just depends."
