. Photo Credit Happy Pi Day - 3/14 is officially Pi day. Photo Credit PI = 3.14159265(to infinity) Now, I was pretty good in math in high school and in college, but the only thing I remember about Pi is that the circumference of a circle is 2πr. That's really not gonna get me anywhere in Mathematical circles, so I think I'll just stick to this kind of "pie."

What Love Means......

2013-03-10T22:31:00.002-04:00

. A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, 'What does love mean?'
