First off, good news, Wiarton Willie predicts an early spring.<\/p>\n
There is a new tradition which is a 1 week vacation at the end of January to coordinate with Groundhog Day. We were going to kick off this with a trip to Florida to see the Lake Dora Groundhog Day celebration. Well things didn’t work out and we cancelled the trip which proved to be a rather good thing. Instead we stayed at home; looked after a bunch of issues that are pressing and generally relaxed as well.<\/p>\n
In the meantime, Mumtaz’s uncle, of whom she is quite fond, passed away peacefully Saturday morning. We visited him on Friday; he was 90.<\/p>\n
At about the same time, Mumtaz came down with this year’s flu (I had some 2 weeks ago) which is quite debilitating, she is recovering well.<\/p>\n
So now we look forward to Pi Day which is truly special this year.<\/p>\n
Remember to kick off the 1 month countdown on February 14. In a typical year, Pi Day is on March 14, serve pie at 1 minute to 2 so that you get 3.14159. This year is extra special … because it is 2015, 3.1415 is automatic … Serve Pi at 9, this will happen next in 100 years so it is certainly a major event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
