Today is Pi Day (3.14, in some date notations). Think radially!
And tomorrow, March 15, is my household’s traditional spring Evacuation Day — the day on which, for many years, Jacques and I moved East from Palo Alto to Columbus (having done the reverse move starting on December 15), after a week of mailing boxes of books back, packing up, arranging for someone to live in the house while we were gone, and so on.
Much as I like Flagstaff and Albuquerque, I’m glad not to be going on the 2,650-mile trek twice a year.
Meanwhile, it’s really spring here: the Victorian box (intensely scented like orange blossoms) is blooming, birdsong awakens me in the morning, and so on.
