1) Because it is 3.14, today is National Pi Day, as I’m sure you know if you hang
out on Facebook at all. Me, I would prefer
it to be National Pie Day. But nobody
asked me. Actually, a friend on Facebook
informed me that there is a National Pie Day and it was on January 23. Personally, I think that pie is good enough
to have two celebratory days in a year.
If today was pie day instead of pi day, what kind of pie would you go for? Me…I like my donuts plain, my coffee black
and I go for that old standard, the American Apple Pie. In honor of the day, we are having vegetarian pot pie for dinner.

2) We got more snow here in Massachusetts
yesterday. Wasn’t much, but it did
neaten things up around the edges temporarily.

4) If you live in a cold climate, you’ve probably
heard a lot of complaining about the weather this winter. To me, it seems like a big waste of energy to
complain about things over which you have no power to change. I think that the people who celebrate winter
deserve big kudos…like our neighbors who have an actual igloo in their front
yard. I think that is just cool! Absolutely no pun intended.
5) I’m on Day 263 of my Flickr 365 that I started on my
birthday. I haven’t missed a day so
far. Today’s entry was one of a series
of “self-portraits” that I am doing using the ABCs. I am on the letter K. It wasn’t easy coming up with something for K
but I did it. K is for key and here it
is, the key to my Toyota Prius. I love
that darn car.
5) I will leave you with a random poem from one of my favorite
poets of all time, Shel Silverstein. It
seems like it’s been a Shel Silverstein kind of week.
THE VOICE
There is a voice inside of you
That whispers all day long,
“I feel that this is right for me,
I know that this
is wrong.”
No teacher, preacher, parent, friend
Or wise man can decide
What’s right for you – just listen to
The voice that speaks inside.
Here's a raggedy Welcome to the weekend. Have a good one, you all!
