Beware the Ides of March

"Beware the Ides of March" - a literary reference from Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar" - refers to the superstition that March 15th is a day which brings bad luck with it. It was the day in 44 B.C. that Julius Caesar was assassinated by Brutus and Cassius. (The Ides were monthly midpoints in the Roman calendar that fell on either the 13th or the 15th, depending on the month.)

I am really not superstitious, but today on the Ministry Van everyone we encountered appeared to be in the foulest of moods. We were sworn at several times and I was even called "the devil" at one point. It is much more likely that it was due to a sudden drop in temperature and the heavy snowfall the night before, that took the place of our lovely spring weather, that caused them to be so disagreeable. But just in case.....perhaps I'll sleep through March 15th next year.


The evil that men do oft live after them;
the good is oft interred with their bones.
-From Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar
