June 14 is Grandparent Alienation Awareness Day

Happy Pi Day!

Pi Day is an annual celebration of the mathematical constant π (pi). Pi Day is observed on March 14 which makes perfect sense as the first three significant digits of π are 3,1,4 (e.g. March 14)

According to the website Angio, Pi (π) is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. It doesn't matter how big or small the circle is - the ratio stays the same. Properties like this that stay the same when you change other attributes are called constants. Because it's so easily observed (you can measure it with a piece of string!),

Pi has been popular for centuries, thanks to Archimedes of Syracuse (289-212 BC) who first calculate Pi.

Sooooo!.... Let us set aside some time today to celebrate everything that is constant - life, death, taxes, sunrises, sunsets, good friends, bad friends, love, hate, forgiveness and revenge.

It's March 6th again Zyg and Mila Ramsay

It's March 6th again Zyg and Mila. It was at 3:10 on March 6, 2014 that your grandmother finally succeeded in cutting me off from you.

Please remember that your Grandfather (A.G.) loves you lots and lots and not a day goes by that I don't think about you and miss you.

A painful reminder from Face Book

My lovely grandchildren.... it’s been 6 years but I haven’t given up hope of hugging them again someday.

"Believe six impossible things before breakfast" - Happy Birthday Alice

“If you don't know where you are going any road can take you there”
― Lewis Carrol, Alice in Wonderland

(Two of the collection of Alice related, hand-painted metal figures I bought in Paris for my grandchildren but will likely never deliver because I was cut off from them four years ago. The pairing in this photo contains a telling metaphor.)

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (commonly shortened to Alice in Wonderland), published on November 26, 1865, is a novel written by English mathematician Charles Lutwidge Dodgson under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll.

It tells of a girl named Alice falling through a rabbit hole into a fantasy world populated by peculiar, anthropomorphic creatures. The tale plays with logic, giving the story lasting popularity with adults as well as with children. It is considered to be one of the best examples of the literary nonsense genre.

Its narrative course and structure, characters and imagery have been enormously influential^[2] in both popular culture and literature, especially in the fantasy genre..... Wikipedia
