Yeah, but I think you were leaving this comment about the same time as I was posting my belated greetings after reading your blog! Happy Pi day birthday Dean.

What, no mention that it was my birthday, too? 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.

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.

But oh man, it might be 3/15 for me now so so maybe I need to watch my friends pretty carefully when we go get pizza.

Hi Frank–thanks for reminding me, I ran out and got Uncle Albert some late birthday roses. 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?
