Happy Pi day back at you, Willie. Pi day and International Talk Like a Pirate Day are my two favorite days.
When I was a kid (that's way baacccccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk), my dad and I would compete to see who can memorize Pi to the smallest decimal. I manage to get to the 10th decimal. He got to 21. (Yeah, that's why Asian kids have an edge in school.) :D
Now, Talk Like a Pirate Day sounds like a blast!

Willie, Talk Like a Pirate day is a total blast for me. I go around talking to everyone in cartoon pirate talk. I'm finally old enough that I don't give a flip about whether or not they think I'm nuts. Try it this Sept 19th.
Tom and I love "Talk Like a Pirate" day. It is so much fun :D I did not realize there was a PI day Willie but sounds like a nice little contest between you and your dad.

Being a pi baby myself, I always enjoy a cheesecake on my this day (every birthday). Though it technically isn't a pie...
