On this day in history, according to Wikipedia:
The Ides of March (Latin: Idus Martiae) is the name of March 15 in the Roman calendar. The term ides was used for the 15th day of the months of March, May, July, and October, and the 13th day of the other months. The Ides of March was a festive day dedicated to the god Mars and a military parade was usually held. In modern times, the term Ides of March is best known as the date that Julius Caesar was killed in 709 AUC or 44 B.C.
Julius Caesar was stabbed to death in the Roman Senate led by Marcus Junius Brutus, Gaius Cassius Longinus and 60 other co-conspirators.
So far, today has been pretty good for me. I received and worked one new insurance claim assignment and received payments for some orders for The Monster Movie Fan's Guide To Japan, one of which was from Australia (for two copies).
As I said, so far, so good!
UPDATE: The day finished on an upward note. Karlos Borloff (Jerry Moore) received his copy of The Monster Movie Fan's Guide To Japan today and was very pleased with it. Also, the mailman delivered more checks (non-travel guide-related) and more orders came in at ComiXpress. I wouldn't mind more of these kinds of days!
