Celebrating the day, yesterday

[celticdragonfly]

So yesterday, as many noted, was Pi Day. We had caramel apple pie, a la mode.

Dryers has too many flavors of vanilla. There I was in the store, trying to remember which was Karl's favorite. The no-sugar-added, fat-free, with Splenda! one was clearly wrong. But... vanilla, french vanilla, vanilla bean, double vanilla? Fortunately I got it right. (French vanilla, if anybody wanted to know)

It was also Einstein's birthday. We celebrated this by digging out the Fire in the Sky tape from Jordin Kare and playing the Unified Field Theory song. I'm glad Karl was willing to hunt for it. Jordin Kare needs to put out a filk songbook of his stuff! Miles was over, and got introduced to Jordin Kare, we also played him Bloody Bastards and The Designer and The Engineer. Then I got a blank look to a remark and realized he didn't know Kipling's The Female of the Species, and I figured the simplest way to introduce him to that poem was to play Leslie Fish's version that she set to music.

A good evening. Progress was also made on household stuff, I may post on that, but after breakfast.

Darn, I missed it. No pie, at any rate. I made veal, though, does that count?

(Well, I didn't *make* the veal; I just cooked it. Presumeably god or whoever actually *made* it.)

Well, this year is the 300th anniversary of the Greek letter "pi" first being used for that mathematical constant - so I'd say you can celebrate it with pie today or anytime soon!
