Happy American Thanksgiving Zyg and Mila Ramsay



Dear Zyg and Mila:

It has now been 2121 days since I last saw your lovely faces and 56 months since she succeeded in cutting me off from you.

It is your country's Thanksgiving, but it is me who is thankful that the two of you came into my life. Don't forget that not a day passes that Grandfather doesn't think of you and miss you.

Love you both lots and lots,

Your Grandfather (A.G.)

Happy π Day everyone



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

According to the website Angio, Pi (Ï€) 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 and hate.

"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

"Nobody can do for little children what grandparents do. Grandparents sort of sprinkle stardust over the lives of little children."

"High Hopes"





CN Tower - Toronto Canada - yesterday morning

"Once there was a silly ole ram,
Knew he'll punch a hole in that dam.
No one could make that ram scram 
he kept buttin' that dam."

Happy Thanksgiving Zyg and Mila Ramsay



Happy (American) Thanksgiving Zyg and Mila.

Dear Zyg and Mila:

It has now been 1461 days since I last saw your lovely faces and 44 months since she succeeded in cutting me off from you.

It is your country's Thanksgiving, but it is me who is thankful that the two of you came into my life. Don't forget that not a day passes that Grandfather doesn't think of you and miss you.

Love you both lots and lots,
