Beware the Ides of March

The Ides of March.
Rough day. Roughest day for me.
Sometimes actions bring about the very thing they are intended to prevent.
“Et tu, Brute? Then fall Caesar.”
They meant to fell a tyrant, but felled a republic instead.
May your luck fare better than Caesar’s today.
Always bid fond farewells, you never know when you won’t get a hello after.
And always.
For all the faults of this den of iniquity, there are good people here for the hard times. And I thank y’all for that.

Thanks for telling us beware on the actual day. Could have used a heads up in advance. Soothsayers have gone to shite.

Let me have men about me that are fat,
Sleek-headed men and such as sleep a-nights.
Yond Cassius has a lean and hungry look,
He thinks too much; such men are dangerous.

He actually did not say this. It became popular after Shakespeare's Julius Caesar play.
In his final moments he wavered between Latin and greek and most likely said: Kaì sú, téknon which means: You too child?
The part about Et tu, Brute was added in the middle ages to the play as most scholars then and now believe he spoke directly to either to Marcus Junius Brutus or Decimus Junius Brutus Albinus, both believed to be the sons of Caesar through two of his mistresses.
Caesar was very close to both of them and treated them like sons even including them in his will.
Decimus in particular was in Caesars final will and had also just been been appointed the the commander of the legions in Celtic Gaul and also was to become Governor of that region in the following year.
He was the one that convinced Caesar to attend the senate amongst the assassination rumors and escorted him around Mark Antony who was there to warn Caesar.
Must have been a depressing feeling know that one your sons helped do you in, especially one that had been named to protect any progeny of Caesar and was also adopted by him in his will.

Caesar didn’t die from senate stabbings. It was all that Fentanyl he was addicted to.

Caveat the Day of Pi
On 3.14, there in Rome, proud Caesar had some Pi,
He never had an Ide-a that the next he had to die.

Well, we know for a FACT that right before they started stabbing him, he said --
Eddie Murphy just ripped him off and plagiarized him!

A few years ago I was in Rome for Easter and stayed at the Hotel Teatro di Pomoeo (Theater of Pompey) which was built on the remnants of the old Theater of Pompey which is where this event happened. The Roman Senate was meeting there because construction work was being done at the Forum.
The breakfast room was down in the basement in a cave that was part of the original structure.
Around the corner is Hostaria Costanza, an excellent restaurant, where you can have dinner at a few tables that are also located in the same caves.
