Should I Be Worried? or Life in the Geekosphere

Ok, granted, I knew what I was getting myself into by hooking up with a computer geek.

Long rambling one-sided (and yet perversely passionate) discussions peppered with inscrutable acronyms: SPS, BOINC, TSP.
Nights aglow with the blue screens of multiple computers.
A partner jacked into the BORG more often than not.
Obsessive behavior aimed at inanimate electrical objects.
Awful spelling (worse than mine).
A general disinterest in words printed on paper products.

But this?
I found Markus laughing hysterically at this comic not too long ago:
Entitled:
Travelling Salesman Problem
(and yes it was spelled like that)












Now I know it has something to do with this idea of a Traveling Sales Man figuring out his routes. And Markus' project that's trying to solve it. However, I can tell that this is not a comic worthy of five minutes of rolling on the floor laughing and chat dialog including ROTFL.

Then maybe a day or so later Markus says, "Hey! Do you know what day we missed?"
To which I reply, "Valentines, Easter, St. Patrick's Day?"
Blank look, followed by wide smile, "No! Pi-Day!"
Yes, Pi = 3.1415926535.. Day. Which of course was March 14!
"And what do you do on Pi day," I ask?
"Eat Pie, I guess!" he says.
Hmm, maybe it IS a celebration I can get behind after all. Except I have a sneaking suspicion that I would be the one making the pie.
