Happy Pi Day!

Happy 3.14 day! The day when math geeks celebrate the joys of the calculation of pi. Here is the official web site for the day.

In other news, Benjamin finally made it home from Arkansas - after being stuck in the Little Rock airport for 10 hours. His plane was indefinitely delayed due to some mechanical problem, and the time of departure just kept going back and back. Finally, they put him on standby for a flight, and he was the last person to get a spot. Made it home at 11:30 - he was supposed to be here at 5. And to make matters worse, he had checked his bag - for the first time in years. Our general rule is to never travel with more than we can carry on, and to carry everything on. But, this time he figured it would be a quick trip, so he checked his bag. On the chance that the suitcase made it, we had to wait another 30 minutes after he arrived. One by one, all the bags on the carousel were claimed, and his never showed. The baggage guy said it should arrive today or tomorrow, and it will be delivered. It had better come, because Benjamin needs his suit again next week for another interview.

In the words of the immortal Mal Reynolds: "It never goes smooth. Why don't it ever go smooth?"
