BEWARE THE IDES OF MARCH


Today is the Ides of March.  While it has come to be known as a day of foreboding, it actually was no such thing during Julius Caesar's time, nor even when William Shakespeare wrote his famous play.  The 15th of any month was known as the "ides" during Roman times.  So you needn't beware of today -  after all it is just another day!
