Beware the Ides of March! This was the Soothsayer's warning to Julius Caesar as famously told in Shakespeare's play, Julius Caesar. Of course, we all know this to be little more than superstitious poppycock, but it used to be thought of as a time of bad luck as a result of Caesar's assassination way back in 44 BC.
These days, March 15 is more likely a day when people do a palm slap to the forehead and realize, "Oh, shoot! Only one more month before tax day--I need to get on it!"
Of course, to many of us this year, it's Selection Sunday, where brackets will be filled out and the greatest time of the year begins. The combination of the sunny weather plus college hoops is an incredible sign of rebirth somehow.
This week we will have spelling as well as a Math test for my class on Friday. I will send the study guide home tomorrow, and it will be due on Thursday so that we can go over it before the test and answer any questions the kids might have.
I hope everyone out there has had a great weekend and that your Ides of March is, at the very least, better than Julius Caesar's.
