Pi Day 3.141592 etc. is a happy distraction from the other loves of my life.

As we try to juggle the happy spring break of the college crew. 2 young people who are off from school and the 5th wave of teen life breaks on our heads daily with concern and consternation with a load of school work on his plate we juggle precariously; the middle school man informs us of Pi Day.

This pi day is monumental and it has it's own theme in my life. ie. "What is the Father of all rivers? said the Little Rascal joke..."The Mississippi?" Buckwheat chimes in "Must be the Mr. Sippi 'cuz Mississippi ain't nobody's Father." The river with pi forward and backward and 'Pippi Longstocking" I am counting the Pi's in my life, like triangles and rectangles they are all around me. Pi is math and Pi is real. My favorite is the Pied PIPER of Hamelin which I providentially opened to yesterday and laughed at myself. Only I would see PI in the Pied piper, maybe.

My baby made a t shirt with the numbers of pi and the symbol that delighted us because it wasn't required. So much that is required is forgotten and yet we all remember Pi day! "Go Figure!" Keep your eyes open for the many pi's around you!
