Pi Day 2010

Back in the winter of 2004 (referring to Winter semester, and therefore the beginning of the year), I had reason to be biased against the number pi. You see, someone who had pi memorized to to 100th digit called the cops on me. And thus I became biased towards him, and by extension, the number pi.

But I recognize that it is unjust of me to harbor ill feelings toward pi. After all, it did nothing to invite offense. Also, it is a number rather than a person. And it just seems silly to be a hater towards an innocent number...or to attribute human-like characteristics to an inanimate object.

So, in a gesture of goodwill towards pi, I plan to celebrate pi day tomorrow, March 14th (3.14). My manner of celebration consists of making a homemade pie. Of the apple variety. With a lattice top. With homemade crust. I spent considerable time earlier today researching pie-making tips. I anticipate deliciousness and a complete reconciliation between me and the formerly-estranged pi.
