Happy pi day everyone.

I'm making a blueberry cheesecake pie (it's a pie because I say it is... and it'll be in a circular pan).  I will probably fail to cast on my knitted pi shawl before midnight since I haven't even wound off the yarn from the hanks yet.  And my husband seems to prefer that I prioritize the cheesecake.  What are you using pi day as an excuse for?  (Hint: you can make that cheesecake in no time at all and it is a very, very good cheesecake.  Just click the link and look at the picture.  Go on.  I use Neufchatel and skim ricotta and it comes out fine.  Blueberries are healthy.  I enjoy being the voice of evil sometimes heh heh heh.)

Also, I must remember to call my son at college and ask him what time it is.

The blueberry cheesecake pie was and is wonderful (and will continue to be so for a while yet; it's only half-eaten), and I am not only lucky but perhaps also undeserving. And what I do for Pi Day? Umm . . . I did the laundry, using baskets that are truncated cones. I went grocery shopping, and obtained many of the ingedients for aforementioned pie (many of which, curiously, were rectangular--neufchatel, graham crackers--but the ricotta came in a truncated-cone container). I drew the caduceus for the king of hearts in the almost-finished electronic redrawing of Cardoons (51 images down, 4 to go, probably won't finish by my 60th birthday as planned), and that involved some partially-circular arcs. I watched the NCAA basketball selection show and have not filled out brackets, which are ever so rectilinear.
