Happy Pi Day! Also happy spring forward! Hawaii is now a whole three hours behind. New York is still three hours ahead. It’s supposed to rain tomorrow. Yay.

Yesterday I misspelled PELOTON. That was my error. I was on the mountain biking team in college. I was not on the road team. There’s no peloton in mountain. I also missed PEEP, POLL, POLLEN, PYLON, TELETYPE, TOPPLE, TYPE, and TYPO.

Meatier Misses

LOLLOP: Move in an ungainly way in a series of clumsy paces or bounds.
TOPE: archaic, literary Drink alcohol to excess, especially on a regular basis.
