to reflect on people you've known for most of your life.
So today, hello to my sisters, Colleen and Jennifer, and my brother, Jonathan.
Love you so much today and every day.

And now you know what time it is.
It's time for the surf report.
Expect steep-angled northwest swellmixed to taper off on Thursday with fight-or-waste
high waves at good exposures, light southeast or south eddy wind early shifting to southwest
or west onshore wind in the afternoon.
A small new southwest or south southwest swell starts to show Friday and into the weekend
with most breaks under waist high but a few chest high sets at south county focal points.
Thursday in Encinitas and North County, it's looking fair to pour for most of the day at
2 to 3 feet.
Might be able to grab some cleaner waves before noon.
Best time to ride is at 7 a.m. with a 3-foot outgoing tide when the south swell is 1 foot
at 16 seconds and the onshore wind is 4 mile per hour.
The first low tide Thursday will be zero feet at noon with a 4-foot high tide just after
6.30.
The new shore buoy at Scripps in La Jolla reads 64 degrees for the water temperature.
Checking out the weather in the Encinitas area.

In local news, the San Diego County Board of Supervisors recently agreed to consider
a partnership with the City of San Diego to form an enhanced infrastructure financing
district at the Midway Rising Sports Arena site.
This district would finance economic development without affecting current property taxes dedicated
to schools and county programs.
This exploration is part of broader efforts to transform the Midway District, promising
thousands of new homes and a revitalized neighborhood with enhanced public infrastructure.
Now on to sports.
In the NBA playoffs, the Boston Celtics demonstrated sheer dominance in Game 5 of their playoffs
series, securing a decisive 118-84 victory over the Miami Heat at TD Garden.
This win marks their third consecutive blowout and propels them into the Eastern Conference
semifinals for the seventh time in eight years.
From the onset, the Celtics established a commanding lead, sinking eight three-pointers
in the first quarter alone and maintaining a near 20-point advantage.
Key performances included Derek White and Jalen Brown, each scoring 25 points.
The Celtics now await the winner of the Orlando Magic and Cleveland Cow Series to determine
their next opponent.
This night in local sports, the Padres at home beat the Reds 6-2.
They now head to Arizona to take on the Diamondbacks Friday night.
In top news, Chengpeng Zhao, known as CZ, the founder of the cryptocurrency exchange Binance,
has been sentenced to four months in federal prison by U.S. District Judge Richard Jones
in Seattle.
The sentence comes as a result of Zhao's limited involvement in illegal activities
related to Binance.
Notably, the judge recognized Zhao's charitable contributions and his readiness to accept
responsibility for the infractions.
Although the sentence exceeded what CZ's legal team had hoped for, advocating for house
arrest, it was considerably less severe than the one-year guideline suggested and the three-year
imprisonment sought by prosecutors.
This outcome highlights the judiciary's acknowledgement of Zhao's cooperative attitude, as he did
not resist extradition and actively participated in the legal process.
This case serves as a pivotal example of the benefits of cooperation with legal proceedings,
especially when contrasted with less cooperative figures in the crypto industry.
Now if we could just get people in powerful positions to stop stealing our money, then
we'd really be making some headway.
In business news, SES is set to acquire Intelsat for $3 billion and a major consolidation within
the satellite telecommunications industry.
This move comes as a strategic response to the competitive pressures from newer, agile
networks like Starlink.
The merger will unite SES and Intelsat's extensive fleets, creating a powerhouse with
around 100 geostationary satellites.
This formidable new entity aims to enhance global communications coverage, boasting a
reach that includes both traditional geostationary satellites and newer medium and low-Earth
orbit systems.
The collaboration signifies a pivotal shift towards multi-orbit network capabilities,
aiming to deliver more robust and versatile communication solutions across a variety of
sectors, including commercial and military applications.
In crypto movement, Bitcoin is now under $58,000, Ethereum is $2,900, and Solana is $129.
Moving on to a more local vibe.

Let's talk tech.
In 2022, Google paid Apple a staggering $20 billion to maintain its status as the default
search engine on Safari for iOS and macOS.
This payment marks a significant increase from the $15 billion paid in 2021.
The details of this financial arrangement were disclosed as part of the U.S. Department
of Justice's antitrust lawsuit against Google, which accuses the tech giant of monopolizing
online search activities.
This deal, dating back to 2002, highlights the critical importance of such partnerships
in Google's strategy, as it competes with other companies like Microsoft, who have also
sought to secure default search engine status on Apple's platforms.
And in entertainment news.
This May, gear up for an exciting lineup of films and TV shows, sure to capture every
viewer's interest.
Kicking off with the adaptation of Tom Wolfe's A Man in Full on Netflix, this series promises
a deep dive into the highs and lows of an Atlanta businessman's life.
On Prime Video, Anne Hathaway returns in The Idea View, a film exploring unexpected romance
at a music festival.
Our cinematic journey continues with The Fall Guy, a blockbuster featuring Ryan Gosling
and Emily Blunt, set to debut in theaters.
Also on the list is the return of the beloved Doctor Who on television, and a fresh look
at a cultural icon with The Beach Boys documentary on Disney+.
Whether it's action-packed drama or insightful documentaries, there's something for everyone
this month.
Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.
And today, our quote comes from Nelson Mandela.
And the former president of South Africa said,
The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.
And that's a wrap for this morning.
