In order to foster math awareness I will be distributing pies to my co-workers later this afternoon. Last year, I made two key lime pies but this year they will have to slum it with &W Apple pies. Also, it is also[Steak and a BJ Day.](http://www.cafepress.com/steakandblowjobday) I will not be giving either to my coworkers as I don’t like them _that_ much. 🙂 ---

I was happy to spring for a pizza for my coworkers for Pi(e) Day, but as for that other stuff? They are on their own! ---

So, I elected to get individual pies at our local grocery store instead; apple, cherry, lemon and blueberry. Pie Day Rocks! I’ll have to talk to my SO about the other bit… ---

We are having pizza (pie) for dinner and [Linn’s Olallieberry Pie](http://www.linnsfruitbin.com/2-ready-to-bake-family-size-fruit-pies/) for dessert. Yum! Made sure both kids went to school wearing their pi shirts. Kid #1 has one similar to [this one](http://www.amazon.com/Mens-Some-Delicious-Math-T-Shirt/dp/B00KHGHF1E). Kid #2’s shirt says “I \<3 pi” with a piece of pie instead of a heart. ---

Came across this fun fact, which seems relevant: a pie with a radius of _z_ and a height of _a_ has a volume of _pi_z_z_a\*. Clearly, we’re meant to eat pizza today. ---

At about 15:00 today, I took my blueberry-cream cheese pie out of the oven. It takes time to cool and set, so it should be ready by 16:00. Some of my geeky friends are coming over for a writing session, and I think they’ll approve. 😃
