Beware the Ides of March

Ides of March
The Ides of March is the 74th day in the Roman calendar, corresponding to 15 March. It was marked by several religious observances and was notable for the Romans as a deadline for settling debts. In 44 BC, it became notorious as the date of the assassination of Julius Caesar, which made the Ides of March a turning point in Roman history.

May your day be less dramatic than Julius experienced.
May all your debts be settled graciously.
May fair winds and warm breezes fill your sails as we enjoy longer daylight savings hours.

Ides just happens to mean, the middle of the month. This is when debt collectors were expected to be paid. Those who did not pay found themselves at the mercy of the court, or Guido, whomever came first.
