Things to Look Forward to in March, Including Pi Day Welcome to the glorious month of March. It's the third month in our calendar year and in case you're curious, it gets it's name from Mars, the Roman god of war. As far as months go, March is in the top 5 of my favorites. The big reason is March gives us Spring. Yep, that magical time of year when the weather starts to warm us up from any winter cold spells that might be hanging around. To be honest, winter in Texas is pretty mild (with freak exceptions like the recent snow storm), but March always gets me looking at my shorts collection. Do I still fit into my shorts from last year or did I "outgrow" them? I think it's time to buy some new shorts.
