Happy PI Day to One and All!

As I'm sure most of you all were aware, today, March 14th or 3/14 (as we say in the USA) is Pi Day! At 1:59:26 AM and PM, the date and time conspired to produce the first 8 digits of the decimal expansion of Pi, the ratio of the circumference of any circle to the diameter of that circle! I trust you all celebrated accordingly!

On the appendix cancer front, we (Caroline, Burr and Cynthia, and Brother Norman, and me) met with my surgical oncologist, Dr. Paul Mansfield, and he recommended surgery to remove all the tumors from my abdominal cavity. The surgery is tentatively set for Tuesday, April 12, 2011. Depending on how involved the lymph system is, Dr. Mansfield will make the call during the surgery about whether or not to use the Hyperthermal IntraPeritoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC).

Great news! Thank you, Lord, for all your many blessings, most particularly for Caroline and the rest of my loving family.

In case you were wondering, especially on PI Day, here are some more decimal digits of PI:
