In case I forget, I want to take this opportunity to wish everyone for tomorrow a
Happy Pi Day! (March 14, 3-14) We celebrate by eating various kinds of pie all
day, and with math problems and puzzles, and an occasional toast to Pythagoras
and Archimedes. One of our favorite holidays!

One of our favorites, too!

We make square pies (because Pi r squared!).

Found out just the other day that the King Sized bag of plain M&Ms comes in
packages weighing 3.14 ounces. :-)

We found some Pi Day songs on the web.


We've been doing this for about 4 years now.

Aha! Those of us in parts of the world that put the date in a logical
order *can* have pi day -- 22nd July -- as long as we can deal with
being non-metric.

Cheers
