THE IDES OF MARCH
"The Ides of March is the first day of the Roman New Year.It also marks the first day of spring in the Roman calendar.
On this day in history, Julius Caesar was warned by soothsayers to "beware of the Ides of March". Apparently, he did not heed the warning strongly enough as he was stabbed by Marcus Brutus on the Ides of March in 44 BC. "
All that from a google search for the Ides of March. aka the 15th. Other interesting days this month are National Pig Day, National Peanut Butter day, If Pets had Thumbs day, National Frozen Foods day, and finally just in case you needed it...........National Panic Day. I mean what Panic? Japan's imploding, Qaddafi is winning, unemployment is still around 9 to 21 percent depending where you are, debt is so big nobody has a clue, the stock market is set to open 200 plus points lower. No panic, go out and take some nice photos of something soothing. Works every time!
Now I have to go out and find something green for St. Patricks day on Thursday!
