Jigsaw Puzzle

 

Yesterday was Pi day and today is the Ides of March.  I guess I switched my observances of these two special days.  Yesterday I had leftovers in the fridge and chose to eat those.  So today I bopped into town to pick up a pizza - which is how I usually celebrate Pi day.  "Beware the Ides of March" has ominous connotations (did for Julius Caesar anyway).  I had arranged with the town clerk to pick up the keys to the town hall after the board meeting last night.  She also asked if I would explain how we would handle some special circumstances w/ the next election.  That meant I both had to attend the meeting and couldn't leave until the end.  (Come to think of it, Julius was killed attending a meeting.)  When called on I talked about the election - took all of two minutes.  The last item on the agenda was road maintenance.  The board discussed gravel for the next forty-five excrutiatingly boring, soul-eviscerating minutes.  It flitted through my mind that even Caesar's agony didn't last this long.
