Today is March 14th (3/14), which only means one thing…it’s Pi Day! (Pi is roughly equal to 3.14, get it?) This was first publicly observed at field trip hotspot/coolest place ever - the San Francisco Exploratorium! That was over 20 years ago. Since then, a lot of people (okay, math geeks) like to celebrate Pi Day by reciting as many digits of pi as possible (boring!) and by eating as many pies as possible (fun!).
Since the show, Pushing Daisies, is literally pushing up daisies now, you won’t be able to have Ned, “The Pie Maker,” bake you up anything special to celebrate this seemingly infinite number at the Pie Hole where everything is bright and lovely. Instead, you’ll just have to hit up your slightly-more-drab Marie Callender’s to honor this relationship between a circle’s circumference and diameter with your friends tonight. Have fun! Happy Pi Day!
I want to linger a little longer on the topic of Pushing Daisies. I liked this show initially because I found the concept original, the writing clever, and the cinematography gorgeous. However, when the star-crossed lovers cannot even hold hands?, things can get a little frustrating to say the least. I had to stop watching out of sake for my own peace of mind. Because of this, I have no idea how it ended. I’m really just curious about one thing: Did Chuck (pictured above) and Ned ever get to embrace? (I am pretty much relying on K to answer this. I am sure she watched until the bitter end since she went on a personal crusade to save the show. 
)
How about the rest of you? Are you sad this ABC dramedy was canceled? Do you care? Do you even know what I’m talking about?

Sorry I hadn’t checked this yet! I finally remembered to add you to my blog list so I’ll remember to check more. To answer your question—no they didn’t get to touch, well not skin to skin anyway. They did get creative and touch with gloves on or they’d kiss through saran wrap. That aspect of the show never bothered me. I just loved everything about the show! I miss it! Sigh.
