And it clarified something for me. For some reason I always associated the Ides of March with March 11th so at least now I have that straightened out.

Of course, I've heard that expression all my life and knew it had some bad connotation, but I didn't know what it meant! The middle of the month? That's all!? When I saw it was this month's theme at blog-a-book-scene, I thought "I better look that up." Now I don't have to. I LOVED Eight is Enough!
