Oh yeah, that's right, it's Pi Day!!

an experiment - sweet, dark cherry pie flavored with orange juice and cointreau

   Just a little post today to say Happy Pi Day to all of the pie and math lovers out in blogland!

   It is, in fact, 3.14 today which, I am told, means something in the math world.  But you know I was lucky enough to get out of math classes in college (thanks to high school advanced placement classes).  And my major was English with a interest in Women's Studies so how much math do you think I remember?

   I vaguely remember... Something to do with Pi and a circle, right?  Currently, I teach pre-kindergarten and work at Williams-Sonoma part time. In pre-kindergarten, we focus on counting to 20 or so and recognizing those numbers.  For good measure, we do a bit of adding and subtracting.  At Williams-Sonoma, they registers do all of the math work for me.  So I am totally out of math practice!

  But one thing I do know is that a pie is generally shaped in a circle.  And a pie is yummy.  And I love making pies.  This is what I know.  This is the circular math that I will celebrate today!  So to all of the Pi or pie lovers out there, enjoy your evening.

   Hopefully you are lucky enough to acquire and eat a delicious piece of pie.  And for your sake, I hope you do not have to do math (unless it's your thing!)
