March 1, 2016

A lot of you talked about Leap Year (I like the one about St. Patrick giving women one day every 4 years to do the marriage proposing). But the only one who told me exactly when and why and by whom it was done is DIANE YATEMAN -- Thank you, Diane. Basically in 46 BC, Caesar revamped the Roman calendar, thus it became the Julian calendar. So, now all of us have this date tucked in the back of our noggins. Along with St. Patrick --

Do you always sort of reboot the first day of a new month? I mean, you write out March 1st and you think Wow! Another month down the yearly drain and what's going to happen this brave new month? Will I accomplish good things? Do things that will make my folks proud of me? Maybe visit a neighbor who's not doing well? So many choices, it's a tabula rasa (blank slate), and all things are possible. Scratch your head (not elsewhere, please) and think about what's going to happen in your March, the only March for a very long time.
