Stephanie and Tim and if you want to get technical, Margaret :o) were all right!
I guess I'm not as crafty as I thought. Either that or Mr. D (or Ronny Gene as Stacy D. and I liked to call him after we found out his middle name) had greater influence than I thought.
In the first act of Shakespeare's tragedy, Julius Caesar, a Soothsayer twice warns Caesar in 'a tongue shriller than all the music', "Beware the ides of March."
The 'ides' was a common term in Roman times for the middle of the month.
Caesar was subsequently murdered on the ides of March.
"Et tu, Brute!"
Sorry, just had to sneak that one in there.

Maybe if you wouldn't have posted so darn early I could have played too. I knew the answer! I said it to someone at work and they looked at me like I was retarded. Oh well!
