First, I am glad to be able to share this most joyous of days with blogger, my Mac and my mind. And of course Jasmine the kitty cat. Some years ago today in an unknown country Pi was born. Pi Day it's not a made up holiday to celebrate a made up number that does some neat-o tricks for mathematicians. I like to think of Pi Day as a celebration of human achievement. Just marvel how far we've come. 3.14 was not always there and neither was March nor the day 14. Boiling it down further, at it's most skeletal, human beings couldn't even express emotions and thoughts. Now, near the summit and around the goat corral of the mountain of human achievement, we have accumulated figures, words, syntax, logic, etc., to devote a day to the number 3.14 aptly celebrated March 14, making it in the top 4 cleverest holidays.
So...how can one celebrate Pi? Personally during Pi day I amount everything to 3.14 exactly. For instance, I will wake up at 3;14 p.m. and have some apple pie as my meal. Each of my spoken sentences will be 3.14 words. I will go to the bathroom 3.14 times. And so in that fashion I will celebrate Pi Day. Each of us, however, celebrates/mourns differently. There is no fault in celebrating by woefully in one's room. Crunched up in a little ball while whispering 3.14 to yourself.
