March 14 is written as 3.14 in American date notation and,hence, Pi Day. My daughter makes a mean pesto pizza so I thought I'd mix mathematics with yummy flavors.
314 is the old central telephone code for St. Louis and so it's also 314 Day in this area. There were a number of activities to mark the occasion but we went to the symphony. Music director Stéphane Denève opened the program with the Ukrainian national anthem, for which the whole orchestra and audience stood. He concluded with music based on Russian folklore, The Firebird, hoping the harmonious blend of the two would signify something.
