Sunny and a high of sixty-four today. Wow.

Done.
- Golang study
Done.
How did I not know about logger?
`logger` logs messages to syslog.
See logger(1) and syslog(3).
$ logger "This is a test of the logger command."
$ logger -p local7.info "Logger can Facility to mark the message source and a Level to mark the message severity."
I'd also forgotten about `look` (`-f` ignores case).

I can relate to this comment:
> This is related to the Curse of the Gifted. When I was a kid, I could grasp concepts easily and I understood maths very quickly so I didn't really bother doing things like homework or actually studying.
> I then went to a decent university (a French Grande Ecole) and for the first year, I was still doing okish but I went from being a student who always had good results to doing average. Then, the second year came, and just understanding the concepts without cultivating fluency by practicing wasn't enough anymore and I failed hard. I hadn't learned how to learn and while I understood the concepts and could easily follow when the teacher solved a problem together with us, I had difficulties doing it on my own. I worked doing exercises and was able to pass but time and time again in my professional life, I've had the same issue where I tend to rely too much on my intuitive understanding until it fails.
> I'm not sure how to help kids not to go down this path. As a kid, I would avoid any rote memorization and would probably not do any non graded exercise since I knew that I understood (and also since as a geek wanting to fit in, I tried to be more accepted by my peers by purposefully not doing my homework). In the end, I think the key is play and giving maybe challenging exercises that forces the kid to use his newly found understanding would be a way to get them used to not just rely on their intuition understanding.
Watched the first couple of episodes of The Kettering Incident. Promising. A bit Twin Peaks-ish.
Put in an appearance at Sherri van A.'s visitation at Hunter's Ridge this afternoon.
Lots of work people there.
Took a couple of suits to the dry cleaner. They'll be ready Wednesday.
Bought gas.
Half hour walk.
Beautiful and ridiculously warm.
Lots of people out gardening. Saw a red-tailed hawk circling high in the sky, a dozen Canada geese in a "V", and a crow.
Today set a new temperature record for Detroit.
Warmest day since 1976.
I talked to mom, and she remembers sunbathing on the back patio while heavily pregnant with me.
Breakfast: left-over pizza, coffee
