I did plan to watch soccer matches in the morning but was very sleepy. Bayern Munchen playing another team was televised on FSN1, I kept it on but fell into sleep most of the time. Manchester City to play West Brom at 10am was to be televised on NBC, I planned to catch that one but eventually wouldn't do it either.
After eating the lunch, I started my GOPRO Saturday again. It's a very sunny day in Seattle, the fields at Lynnwood High School were all filled by the people playing soccer. On my way to Safeway, I passed by my rental townhouse. Checking on Zillow several days ago, I was happy to see the current Zestimate showing the selling price of it going back to the point when I bought it in April, 2006. After my son graduates, if it is vacant, I will give it to him; if it is rented, I will give the rent to my son; if he wants to move to the other area even in Seattle, I will sell it to give the cash to him for buying another property wherever he resides.
Having a grande latte, I picked up the medication at Safeway. On the way to gym, I saw a plenty of cars on 525 being headed to I-5 and I-405. People tried to get out of the houses to enjoy the sunshine. A new face was at the front desk at the gym and he was pretty enthusiastic. I made the comment of seeing only several people working out and we both agreed that most of the people went outdoor today.
Coming back home, I tried to start lawn mower, which had been put in the garage unused since last fall. It didn't start after I pulled several times. After pouring lube into it, it worked. I didn't encounter a big issue, so wouldn't need to go bothering Dennis to take a look at it. However, it needs to be tuned-up. The grass was very thick, so the mower stopped working after a while because grass was stuck under it. I stopped and detached the loader to dump the grass into the new waste container I just ordered. Since moving in December, 2009, I hadn't ordered Yard Waste Service until last week. Because we have the smallest yard in this neighborhood, it was really no need to have it. Recently, my dad collected a lot of waste and often used others' containers. One time, he even dumped the waste into recycling container to draw a warning note. So, I believed it is the time that we need to have this service.
I didn't watch Mariners' home opening game much because I was sleepy but did watch the entire game tonight. It's not a good night because Athletics won big but fans still had a lot of fun. Baseball is a sport at slower pace but fans are more enjoyable than those for others at faster-pace.
My son called me close to 11 pm but I missed it. Calling him back, I learned he wouldn't take classes in Summer quarter. I agreed it making sense. He is only 5 credits behind the graduating schedule and can catch up in the following 6 quarters. He also plans to talk to several advisers about his major. He actually has qualified BA in Economics and seriously thinks about if he still wants to pursue the Economic major. I encouraged him to do it because he had taken so many courses to qualify it and it opens more opportunities for him to get a job after graduation. According to my observations of his personalities and capabilities, Political Science and Psychology all fit as well. If he wants to get a PhD, I also support him. Actually, being accepted into a PhD program, he will be almost independent financially. MD & JD are different animals though.
I used to sing this song - 晚秋 (Late Fall) frequently, even after moving to Seattle, I sang it in late 90s and early 2000 in the parties when friends got together.
