Sunday is Pi Day

Sunday is March 14th, Saint Matilda's day. Also Saint Mathilda, with an "h," both 10th Century martyrs. It's also "π" day.

In Europe, they write day/month/year, so it's 14/03/2010, but we 'Merkins write 3/14/10 ... which happens to be the first few digits of Pi (3.14159, if you've forgotten). Pi as in, heh-heh, Pizza Pi (vegan, in the U District), Pizza Pi (vegan, Victoria, BC), and a couple of also-rans: Serious Pie (savory, downtown) and Seattle Pie (sweet, in Magnolia).

Nor should we forget our good friends of cyberspace, SeattlePI.com. To you all, Happy Circle of LIfe.
