IDUS MARTII


"Beware the Ides of March", And so goes the prophecy given to Julius Cesar and yet, he did not pay enough heed to the augury of Spurrina on that fateful day of March 15th, 44BCE. He was assassinated by the group, known as the Liberators, one of whose members was Marcus Brutus a trusted ally and son of a former mistress. For all of his great military genius and political acumen, in the end, it would seem, he did not know whom to trust and who to stand sentinel against, his hubris may have been his undoing.


I would also like to take the opportunity to wish any and all with even the wee bit-o-green in their being, a very Happy St. Patrick's day (3/17/20)!
