“Pi has been calculated to over thirty-one trillion digits beyond its decimal point. As an irrational and transcendental number, it will continue infinitely without repetition or pattern. – PiDay.org

“The reason for adopting this particular Greek letter is because it is the first letter of the Greek word, perimetros, which loosely translates to circumference.” – PiDay.org

Thank goodness it is Pi Day. I love numbers and math and all things scientific. With the current global situation, we need a little levity, and nothing makes me smile more than a slice of pie. Who can resist pie?

Pies come in so many delectable fruit flavors like Apple, Cherry, Peach, Strawberry, Blackberry, Blueberry, and Key Lime. If those don’t complete your equation, there are creamier pies to temp you like Lemon Meringue, Sugar Cream, Coconut Cream, and French Silk. For the more adventurous consider Pecan, Pumpkin, Rhubarb, Sweet Potato, Banoffee, Mississippi Mud, Mince Meat, Grasshopper or Turtle Pie. The greatest pie of all just might be Pizza Pie and all the topping options that make your heart go pity-pat.

Excuse me while I run to the bakery. I hope the Pi line does not stretch to infinity.
