  1. Jacqueline, those were the first words I uttered to myself this morning.

    "Beware the ides of March," a soothsayer tells Caesar in Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar." The Ides of March, which takes place on March 15, is known as the day that Caesar was killed, and the ominous phrase has, at this point, worked its way into the common lexicon.

  2. I would usually be discussing the upcoming Ides of March and how Caesar should have listened to his Hound, Wimsius Houndus Giganticus, and gone to Cancun instead of hanging around the Forum waiting to be stabbed.
