Happy Pi Day!

As silly as it sounds, yes, I'm one of the unusual ones that actually looks forward to this holiday! For the second year in a row, our department (full of engineers) celebrated in full force.

For lunch, we had a variety of pizza pies:  bbq chicken pizza (grilled chicken, bbq sauce, mozzarella, onions and cherry peppers); philly cheese steak pizza (philly cheese steak, onions, peppers, mozzarella, and alfredo sauce); monster pizza (mozzarella, tomato sauce, bacon, pepperoni, meatballs and ham); paesani pizza (Italian sausage, pepperoni, tomato sauce and mozzarella); margherita pizza (fresh hand sliced baby mozzarella, tomato sauce and fresh basil); buffalo chicken pizza (grilled chicken, ranch, bacon, mozzarella, red onions and hot sauce); classic cheese pizza; and classic pepperoni pizza. Whew!

  

Then came the dessert pies: blackberry, chocolate cream, peanut butter, strawberry cream, lemon, coconut cream, key lime, and chocolate meringue (my contribution):

Come on now. Admit it. After seeing this parade of pies, don't you wish you celebrated, too?

Did you know . . .

• On WTVC-TV Channel 9 News this morning, meteorologist Bill Race said, "As of today, we are 3.14 inches of rain above normal!"  Coincidence? Hmmmmmm.
• Albert Einstein was born on 3.14! Isn't this just more proof that God has a sense of humor? Can't you picture the twinkle in his eye when he planned that? I just want to say, "I get it! That's a good one! Well done!" :)
• I woke my siblings with a Happy Pi Day text message at 5:13 this morning. Scott's reply: "I expected this to be sent at 3:14 a.m. You are slacking." Oh man, why didn't I think of that? :)

Now I can't wait for next year!
