Wow that year just flew by and here we are celebrating another Pi Day. (It is also Albert Einstein’s birthday.) So, come on and share your favorite\*\* π \*\* Day stories. Or maybe you’d like to talk about years ago when \*\* π \*\* Day was so much better than it is now. Anyone having friends and family visiting them for \*\* π \*\* Day ? Well, no sense in my monopolizing this topic. Let’s hear from all of you. ---
