The Ides of March was the middle of the month, March 15, on the Roman calendar. It is most famous in history for being the day that Julius Caesar was assassinated by the Roman Senate. It was a date that changed everything…for a little while. Then Caesar Augustus won the civil war and converted the dictatorship into an imperial state.

In Boise, we’re celebrating it a little different…The Boise State University Secular Student Alliance will be hosting “Stories of Life Change on the Ides of March”, a speaking event at 7:00 pm March 15, 2012 on the Boise State University campus featuring Susan Harrington of Idaho Atheists and me.

It’s kind of crazy that after four and a half years since my last public speaking engagement to have two in little more than two weeks time. I’m looking forward to it and if you have a group that would like to have me speak, just let me know.
