We had National Pi day Tuesday (Pi is 3.14). Danita was up to the challenge of celebrating one of the geekiest days of the year. We had bacon and chedar quiche and a blueberry-lemon desert — complete with a blueberry 𝜋.

Mark, Jiajia, and Mira visited. Of course with Danita cooking, we ate like kings. We took Mira to the Howard County nature center. Mira had a blast, looking at books, seeing small animals, and in general the atmosphere. We also took her to the nicest playground we know of. It’s a short ride from our house, and practically brand new. Mira spent an hour just getting comfortable with the place. She finally got into banging notes on a xylaphone that looks like leaves on a tree. Just then it started raining. The playground emptied out in nothing flat. We even found a new restaurant that offers excellent food at reasonable prices. It’s called JAM. They took over the old Expectations restaurant which we didn’t like, in spite of it’s popularity.

Unfortunately, I only got one good pic.

I hope this finds everybody doing well.
