Today is a beautiful day for sailing. Which is what just about *everyone* will be doing tonight. This is because a co-worker of ours who lives on his sailboat offered to take the whole entry group out sailing tonight. Inconviently, 2 of our small group (Gavin & I) already crew for the races tonight (which is most unfortunate, 'cause I'd really like to go out on his boat). But we'll be sailing, so life is good.

This morning, I'm going to finish my Approach & Land Guidance cram session. This afternoon, I hope to find time to study Optimal Control algorithms for part 2 of my test tomorrow.

The FDO interview went pretty well yesterday. The summary I sent Mom & Sarah: A bunch of questions about my technical experience, my leadership on teams, my abilities as a team player, dealing with conflict, my ability under pressure (I basically ran out of times that I've had to deal with real emergency situations by the time they finished questioning me..), what I think a FDO does (I think this was where I made the worst answers) and who a FDO works with... I made a few jokes (one borrowed from Nick, "I want to be a FDO because my mom was a FDO, and her mom before that...")

I'll find out if I got the job after I get back from California. I'm trying not to think about the potential career changing right now, because its just too distracting.

Sarah put up some pictures of Yuri's Night that are quite good - including pictures of the crowd, the bands, and the Russian dancers. Here are some of the highlights (maybe this will help you put faces to the names I mention in these entries):

Matt, Stephanie, Me, & Ray (our group lead)

Gavin & Jen

Jo & Sarah

And some pictures from the museum last week are here.
