Pi Day is celebrated on March 14th (3/14) around the world. Pi (Greek letter “π”) is the symbol used in mathematics to represent a constant — the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter — which is approximately 3.14159. Pi Day is an annual opportunity for math enthusiasts to recite the infinite digits of Pi, talk to their friends about math, and eat pie.

My family and I celebrated by having pie (key lime) at 1:59 and followed up with pizza for supper—I wearing my Pi Day shirt of course.

Kate Bush has a song called PI from her Ariel album (CD) - she She actually sings the number to its 78th decimal place, then from its 101st to its 137th decimal place.

As only Kate Bush can.

Today after early worship our family group went to Cracker Barrell for Brunch. A placcard on our table featured Buttermilk Pie. Never heard of it. Prolly a deep south treat. Since it’s Pie Day I ordered a slice to go. Had it for dessert a bit ago. Not bad. A mite sweet for me. I like plain old egg custard better; whether in a pie or just in a custard cup. But it was a fun experiment on Pie Day.

And, off course, it is not yet pi hour, pi minute, or pi second ...

3.14:159265358979 ?
Well, then, 15.9265358979 hours = 15:55:59.215387
(Or 3:55:59 and a few seconds in the afternoon.)

BUT! Daylights Savings Time? Greenwich Mean Time?
Which longitude? (15 degrees per hour, ya know.)

Thanks for the reminder, it’s been a while since I last made a pie. New York Grape Pie is one of the best.
