The “Ides of March” simply means the middle of the month. Each month has an Ides. The warning, “Beware the Ides of March” came from William Shakespeare’s play “Julius Caesar.” In the play Caesar is warned about March 15th, that something could happen on the 15th. If he had heeded that warning, the world might be a different place today.

On my “Ides of March” a guy confirmed he would no longer be my friend. Might I be Caesar and he be Brutus? Hardly! What happened on your “Ides of March?”
