You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Happy 3.14 baby, Nilly!

In honor of this happy day, Lucy Kaplansky singing her father's song about pi: [link]

3 1 41 Oh my, here’s a song to sing about pi.
Not a sigma or mu but a well-known Greek letter too.
You can have your alphas and the great phi-bates, and omega for a friend,
But that’s just what a circle doesn’t have – a beginning or an end.
3 1 4 1 5 9 is a ratio we don’t define;
Two pi times radii gives circumf’rence you can rely;
If you square the radius times the pi, you will get the circle’s space.
Here’s a song about pi, fit for a mathematician’s embrace.

Congratulations Nilly and DH!

It's so wonderful to hear some happy news from the world when so much sad news is everywhere.

I brought my pie into work, and the meringue sweat leaked all over me and my leather bag. It was a very sticky situation for a while.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

YAY for Nilly and her Khusband!! Welcome, baby!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

YAY NILLY!!!

Sue, you need a pie carrier.

Very happy for the safe birth of Nillys son. Our friends who were visiting Japan have a flight out to Honolulu in a couple of hours, and have had the parents of mutual friend whom they've never met volunteer to host them for as long as necessary (they can't get a flight back to the mainland until the end of March). Such good people in the world.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Congratulations, Nilly! And welcome to the world, little boy.
