I share this day with Einstein, Quincy Jones, Billy Crystal, Michael Caine and also the anniversary of Eli Whitney's patenting of the cotton gin (3/14/1794). A High School out on the Oysland of Lawnge (somewhere near NYC) celebrates Pi Day each year. Turns out my old Biology teacher from HS started this tradition as a Math teacher in her later life. As fate would have it, during our dinner celebration of the day, Pi were triangular, as Susan ordered SUGAR FREE apple pie and I had SUGAR FREE cheesecake. That pie (and cake) are not square.

But oh man, it might be 3/15 for me now so <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ides_of_March" rel="nofollow">so maybe I need to watch my friends</a> pretty carefully when we go get pizza. 3/14 is pie day — although in the UK we’re a backwards sort and have it as 14/3 — which is obviously a nod for people from R-2-L reading countries to join in on pi day as a unified international force of joy and wonderness.

I think he looked a little bit teary-eyed when I showed up so... Hope you and he will join me over at my *new* blog house. Lots of room, not even any cat hair on the furniture yet. So please swap your blogroll to my new address, ok? Hi Frank–thanks for reminding me, I ran out and got Uncle Albert some late birthday roses.
