Nice catch Dan – and today is a once in one-hundred year event in that we go out four decimal places instead of the usual two!

Happy pie day! Dan. We are in Hartford at a two day cheerleading competition. Enjoy your Saturday. Michele

Albert Einstein was born on Pi Day — in 1879.
The man who came up with the general theory of relativity said this once about infinity.
“The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits.”
That made me laugh so hard my coffee came out of my nose. OMG. Now, this genius has to hose down the monitor.
Hooray for pi day!
Beautiful!! Took me a while (shame on me!)
Dan, your pie are round !!!
