To prove I'm still around, I figure this is a good reason to post.... since I'm not racing yet, and hardly riding... I need something.
I ride often with the "Square Wheels" cycling club... so why does that matter? Today on the way in to work, (DRIVING A CAR!!!) I heard that today is a square root day... and then I got the message from Abaddonny
From Wikipedia:
Square root day is a humorous holiday celebrated on dates where the day and the month are both the square root of the last two digits in the current year.[1] For example, the last square root day was March 3, 2009 (3/3/09), and the next square root day will be April 4, 2016 (4/4/16). The final square root day of the century will occur on September 9, 2081. Each century it is the same nine dates that are Square root days.
Ron Gordon, a Redwood City, California high school teacher, first created the day for 9/9/81. Gordon is the official public relations person and sends news releases to world media outlets[2]. In addition, his daughter has got in on the act and set up a Facebook page for people to share how they were celebrating the day[3].
One suggested way of celebrating the holiday is by eating square radishes, or other root vegetables cut into shapes with square cross sections.[4]

So why doesn't the google logo represent something on this? I mean that's how I found out that Jackson Pollock's Birthday was on January 28.
Don't forget Pi day is a week from Saturday (3.14) ... so go eat PI. Gain weight, so I can keep up when we ride together.
Oh for some decent weather during some free time so I can work this stuff off on the bike...
