### Re: Pi, stake, and stuff

Notice that the items in the title could be food.
I needed to add my 2 bits about what is said and discussed. First, I was really confused about how in the world July 22 could be considered Pi Day. Then I thought. Having spent nearly 2 years in a country that puts the day before the month in dates I started to understand. First, the is no 14th month of the year. So the 3rd of the 14th month did not make sence. Next, there is not 31 days in the 4th month, April. So 31, April = 1 May doesn't make any sence either. I guess there could be something about the 3rd of January, but that ruins the very point of including the first 3 digits that a lot of people know about, 3.14. So, it seems the "nerd" had to think of another day that was not American to celebrate Pi day. 22 divided by 7, 22/7, is, remarkably, close to Pi. That's it. We will call 22nd of July Pi day. That way the truly nerdy population will have to pull out their calculators to verify that it really is 3.14 + whatever. I for one had to do just that. Oh well. I will stick with the simple and "sweet" March 14.
Next, my opinion about the stake announcement. It seems easy to get word out to tell the priesthood. A representative, if not the whole, of each ward's bishopric would be in attendence. Easy way to tell them all, plus other people who will be able to spread the word. Just my opinion. At this point I really don't know much about the church as an organization. I do feel that I am learning tons each week that I attend church.
By the way, Caren and I got new callings in our ward. We teach half the 7-8 year olds. It sure was fun. Kip roams around the class as we teach the lesson. Then Caren and I take turns taking them to sharing time while the other attends Kip in RS/EQ.
P.S. Personally, I'm beginning to think Keryn is pregnant and the hormones are kicking in high gear. :-) Love you Keryn. --SKT
