Today’s Highlight in History:
On April 10, 1912, the British liner RMS Titanic set sail from Southampton, England, on its ill-fated maiden voyage.
On this date:
In 1815, the Mount Tambora volcano on the Indonesian island of Sumbawa exploded in one of the largest eruptions in recorded history, resulting in tens of thousands of deaths.
In 1865, Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee, a day after surrendering the Army of Northern Virginia at Appomattox Court House, said farewell to his men, praising them for their “unsurpassed courage and fortitude.”
In 1916, the Professional Golfers’ Association of America was founded in New York.
In 1925, the F. Scott Fitzgerald novel “The Great Gatsby” was first published by Scribner’s of New York.
In 1932, German President Paul Von Hindenburg was reelected in a runoff, with Adolf Hitler coming in second.
In 1947, Brooklyn Dodgers President Branch Rickey purchased the contract of Jackie Robinson from the Montreal Royals.
In 1966, English author Evelyn Waugh, 62, died in Combe Florey, Somerset, England.
In 1968, “In the Heat of the Night” won best picture of 1967 at the 40th Academy Awards; one of its stars, Rod Steiger, was named best actor while Katharine Hepburn was honored as best actress for “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner.”
In 1971, a table tennis team from the United States arrived in China at the invitation of the communist government for a goodwill visit that came to be known as “ping-pong diplomacy.”
In 1981, imprisoned IRA hunger striker Bobby Sands was declared the winner of a by-election to the British Parliament.
In 1998, the Northern Ireland peace talks concluded as negotiators reached a landmark settlement to end 30 years of bitter rivalries and bloody attacks.
In 2005, Tiger Woods won his fourth Masters with a spectacular finish of birdies and bogeys.

Five years ago: During the National Rifle Association’s annual convention in Nashville, Tennessee, a succession of potential Republican presidential rivals slung criticism and cracked jokes about Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton, who was expected to announce her White House candidacy. The Apple Watch made its debut.
One year ago: Holden Matthews, the white son of a sheriff’s deputy, was arrested in connection with a string of fires that destroyed three black churches in rural Louisiana; authorities said his father helped arrange for his arrest. (Matthews pleaded guilty to federal and state criminal charges in February; sentencing is set for May.) Scientists released the first image ever made of a black hole, revealing a fiery, doughnut-shaped object in a galaxy 53 million light-years from earth.

Full name was Arthur Evelyn St. John Waugh. He is known as Evelyn. Draw your own conclusions.Sounds to me like they thought it was going to be a girl, and since Aunt Bertie had already knitted a quilt with the name on it, they just rolled with it.I stand corrected. Obviously his parents hated him to give him that name. Just sayin'.And a BOTL.That she was a he.

He had a perfectly good name and chose to go by Evelyn?
Edit: All of a sudden the quote makes more sense.

XFL announced they are closing up shop and don't expect to be back next year. Which is kind of a shame, because it wasn't bad. Especially some of their rules differences which were vastly superior to the NFL.Never saw one game but I was intrigued. Thought I'd have more time.

In the man cave with a stick from an Espinosa sampler.Curious what you think of that one, as I recall there's a typical Espinosa backbone but with an interesting different flavor

About 1/3 way in. Draw is perfect, burn going a little wonky, getting a bit of clove now. Except for the Laranja I'm not a regular Espinosa smoker, but I would not mistake it for a Laranja. Flavors seem a little shallow, but I'll give it some time.In the man cave with a stick from an Espinosa sampler.Curious what you think of that one, as I recall there's a typical Espinosa backbone but with an interesting different flavor

It went downhill flavor wise for me. A little acrid and plain tasting for the second third. Not one I would seek out.It's not heavy on the palate but has some good flavors going on.About 1/3 way in.

Picked up a box of La Galera Connecticut and Oliva Connecticut reserves. These are both great morning cigars for me. Prices were good.Then all is right in the universe.
