Good morning, Dave.

Kids are off from school this week so I don't need to get up as early.

That's a nice little bonus.

I was working on my self appraisal for work until almost midnight yesterday. It wound up being late anyway because it was due at midnight on Saturday. I misunderstood. I don't think it's that big of a deal. Anyway, It's my own fault for procrastinating. I hate doing those things.

Same, those are a pain. We got out of them this past year because of manager turnover, which you would think would be the best time to do them, when you're shuffling through managers. Well, you'd be wrong, apparently. Lol
-
Lots of ubering this week even though the kids are off. There are still 3 baseball games and a bunch of practices.
-
Not to mention pickups and drop-offs because the girls are coming home from their respective colleges and are each bringing a guest for Easter.

But I'm not complaining. I get a 3-day workweek this week and a 2-day one next.

Today would've been a pretty nice morning to hit the course, but I only saw rain on the forecast and didn't look at the hourly breakdown. Not that it might've been accurate, but now I'll never know. In fact, I'm gonna pretend it showed rain all morning, just so I don't feel as bad. :D
Highs this week, starting today: 71, 48, 45, 60, 72, 58. The graph literally looks like a roller coaster.

Today is Monday, April 14, the 104th day of 2025
with 261 to follow.
The moon is waning. Morning stars are Mars, Mercury, Saturn and Venus. Evening stars are Jupiter, Mars and Uranus.
On this date in history:
In 1775, the first slavery abolition society in North America -- the Society for the Relief of Free Negroes Unlawfully Held in Bondage -- was founded by Benjamin Franklin and Benjamin Rush in Philadelphia.
In 1828, Noah Webster published his American Dictionary of the English Language. It was the first dictionary of American English to be published.
In 1861, the flag of the Confederacy was raised over Fort Sumter, S.C., as Union troops there surrendered in the early days of the Civil War.
In 1865, John Wilkes Booth shot President Abraham Lincoln during a performance of Our American Cousin at Ford's Theatre in Washington. Lincoln died the next morning. He was succeeded by Vice President Andrew Johnson.
In 1918, two U.S. pilots of the First Aero Squadron shot down two enemy German planes over the Allied Squadron Aerodome in France during World War I. It was the first U.S.-involved dogfight in history. One of the pilots, Lt. Douglas Campbell, would eventually shoot down five enemy aircraft, making him the first U.S. flying ace.
In 1927, the first Volvo was produced in Sweden.
In 1931, King Alfonso XIII was deposed, ending 981 years of monarchical rule in Spain, and ushering in the Second Spanish Republic, the republican regime that governed Spain from 1931 to 1939.
In 1939, The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck was published.
In 1963, police broke up an Easter Sunday anti-segregation protest march in Birmingham, Ala., that saw Black Americans attend services at two white churches.
In 1986, Bishop Desmond Tutu was named Anglican archbishop of Cape Town, South Africa.
In 1994, in what was called a tragic mistake, two U.S. warplanes shot down two U.S. Army helicopters in northern Iraq's no-fly zone. All 26 people aboard were killed.
In 2003, U.S. military officials declared that the principal fighting in Iraq was over after Marines captured Tikrit, Saddam Hussein's home town.
In 2008, Silvio Berlusconi swept back into power in a third term as prime minister of Italy in a new election that gave him control of both houses of Parliament.
In 2010, the devastating magnitude-7.1 Yushu earthquake staggered northwest China. Officials reported the death toll eventually surpassed 2,600, with many thousands of people injured.
In 2013, Nicolas Maduro was elected president of Venezuela.
In 2021, President Joe Biden announced he will withdraw all U.S. troops from Afghanistan by Sept. 11, a plan that NATO's 30 member states agreed to following a meeting with U.S. military and foreign relations leaders.
