Celebrate the "Year of Math"

     A Congressional Resolution declaring 2026 as a Year of Math in the U.S. was introduced in the Senate (on 12/18/2025) by its co-sponsors, Senators Shelley Moore Capito (R,WV) and John Hickenlooper (D, CO), and in the House (on 3/92/2026) by its co-sponsors, Representatives Chrissy Houlahan (D, PA-6) and Jay Obernolte (R, CA-23).

       let's dance and sway. 

These words about the day we celebrate on March 17 are from Catherine Pulsifer, A Holiday Awaits -- one of many examples of Words of Wisdom found here.  Details about the life of St. Patrick may be found here.

Happy Pi-Day

Is 13 Unlucky?

        Today I am briefly reflecting on the fact that both last month and this month (2026 February and March) contain a Friday-the-13th.  And those thoughts have led me to a tiny, syllable-count triangle poem.

       Is
       it true
       that Friday
       the thirteenth's an
       unlucky happening?

       Counting syllables
       can celebrate
       ( in a way )
       that prime
       day!
