How’s your PI Day – 3.1415???

Today is a newer “DAY” declared to celebrate with PI – 3.1415 – or  – are you suppose to celebrate by making “PIES” and  then – – seeing how many you can eat,   today??? I may try making an “Apple” pie!

When you are in school – you may have taken good ole “Geometry” and you could have enjoyed every minute or you could have been one of those  who just do not have a head for figures and fig-erring in the higher playing field of knowledge and just came away with only knowing “PI = 3.14” and just remembering that you felt good about yourself!

Somewhere in all of this you know that Pi is the ratio of a circle’s   circumference to it’s diameter – so  with that piece of knowledge – how are you using it? With today’s handheld gadgets  and the convenience of all the electronics  – – who in the world uses their brain?? 

Today the numbers match the first five digits of PI   – 3.1415 – so this is for-sure  a once in a century celebration time  – for us  here  now to do some celebrating – only because we will not all be here again for the next  century’s matching a couple more of the numbers –  – but if you feel that you will be here – – –  let me hear from you??? “GOOD LUCK!”

We know that everyone knows  the symbol “PI”  – and when we see 3.14  – – we know to associate the two together – but now we will be adding the next two numbers  so that  the  five numbers are 3.1415 – and if we do our homework  we will start to remember the next couple of numbers and then there are those brainy people who can remember the whole long stream of numbers  – – – so to those of  you  – be  happy  to receive a “GOLD STAR” on your report card. I only a  few “GOLD STARS” to give out this year!

To those of you who know “Greek”  – I take my “HAT” off to you!!
