Ides of March

Beware the Ides of March! It's coming, you know, on the 15th of this month. No, it's not a horror movie. It's the anniversary of Julius Caesar's ultimate downfall. (His enemies put hemlock in his tea on March 15 in 44 BC.)

Hopefully, the Ides of March will not be so dramatic for you. But if they are, give me a call if I can help you in any way. In the meantime, don't drink any tea.

Happy Groundhog's Day!

I know, it's an unusual reason to write, but Groundhog's Day is a very important holiday. There's a whole "Groundhog's Day" section at Hallmark now. Did you know?

For those of you who are wondering just what Groundhog's Day is, it's the national holiday that elevates a certain groundhog (one that lives in Pennsylvania, I think) to weatherperson status. Now, on this day, if this certain groundhog comes up from the ground and sees its shadow, that means there's six more weeks of winter.

Kind of a silly reason for a holiday. Unless you look at it like this: If a groundhog can be a weather expert, you can be absolutely anything you want to be.

HINTS HAMMERING

Have you ever been hammering and completely missed the nail? If you hit the wall, you could put a dent in the plaster the size of Delaware. You could also hit your finger and, over the next few days, complain bitterly about the pain. You might receive several good tips from friends regarding proper hammer use. I thought I'd share one with you.

First of all, if you have to pound a nail in at a level that is at or below your knees, stand with your back to the wall, crouch down and hammer the nail from behind. Also, if the nail is too short to hit (like so many are), use a comb to keep it in place the comb will protect your wall so it won't sustain any injuries.
