It's Thursday, Jan. 23, National Pie Day. Happy birthday to poet/playwright Derek Walcott (1930), winner of the 1992 Nobel Prize for literature. Today in 1957, toy maker Wham-O began producing its flying saucer disc known as the Frisbee. Thursday's weather should be rainy again, with more gusty south wind and a high in the low 50s. Here are things to do today after you find a great slice of coconut cream pie:
