Today is Idus Marti… The ‘ides of march’ .. A day dedicated to mars , the roman god of war. Its the day when julius caesar was murdered in the roman senate in 44 b.c.e. he was stabbed 23 times. The story is that Caesar had been warned by a fortune teller to beware the ides of march. According at least to Shakespeare When Caesar saw the same fortune teller on this same afternoon 2057 years ago he remarked ” the ides of march have come” to which the fortune teller warned ” ay, Caesar but not gone”

I spent the day looking out for I’ll omens. I balanced my towels on the towel rack, I arranged the soaps in the hotel bathroom. I shined my shoes in the correct order . I walked around my car just in the proper way to ward off bad luck . I spoke the right incantations as I began ride home from ny. Even so, I knew that good juju can only help so much. I know full well that when bad is going to happen, bad is going to Happen. That goes the same for good… Or for average I suppose

Hey.. I just noticed the ides have indeed gone . I guess it’s safe to go to asleep now.. At least as safe as it ever is

Nite all, nite Sam
