20080607: Chip Dusseau (of Coldwell Banker Bain's Redmond Ridge office) here to talk about selling the house; may be able to get it on the market for July. We'd like to move back to Redmond or thereabouts, so I'm closer to work and Honey's closer to school; also, it makes us more mobile.
20080608: Got GRE analytical writing score back (and others, but I knew them since they were computer-scored: perfect 800 on the quantitative (math), 700 on the qualitative (verbal), top 3%). Perfect 6.0, despite my gun metaphors, and claiming the semi-automatic handgun as a positive (personal defense) technology in my issue paper (this is surprising because schools lean liberal, as, presumably, do the grad students who do a lot of the GRE grading, and liberals are anti-gun).
20080611, 12: Had some yard maintenance done by Scott's Landscape Service: pruning, weeding, trimming, and replacing some of the outdoor lights that got topped when the tree fell (or by the construction workers).
20080612: Bob sent in his letter of recommendation for my graduate school (PMP) application. Finished some more of the online PMP application (courses, recommendations) and had it send an email to EB, my other reference. Still need to finish personal statement and upload a resume.
20080614: Went to SVRC orientation, handed in application and (½-yearly) payment, got a temporary badge (real one will be mailed); I can start using the range July 1 (I could probably start earlier; nobody would know, but it'd be morally wrong since I only paid their ½-year rate).
In general orientation didn't tell me much that was new, just a few things about the gate combination, opening the first aid/telephone room, and clarified a few things: cease-fire on the rifle range extends to the pistol range, but not vice versa, and (aluminum) cans can be shot at at either range (even though the web site says otherwise, or perhaps implies steel cans; steel targets aren't allowed because of the possibility of ricochets, and paint/oil cans aren't allowed because of toxicity; glass is out because it gets everywhere; plastic bottles are fine).
Books finished: Waterdeep.DVDs finished: Basic Instinct, My Cousin Vinny.
