Who knew March has so much to offer? (Of course, if you’re currently in Austin taking part in SXSW, then none of this applies to you.)
But for those of us not geeking out over music, films & the internet in Texas, you might be interested in knowing that in the course of one week, the following events all occur…
- Daylight Savings time. Spring forward by setting your clocks ahead one hour before you go to sleep on March 13th. Enjoy losing that hour of sleep.
- Pi Day. As your mathematical sensibilities should tell you, March 14th is when this one takes place. Be sure to bake your favorite pie or simply thank your favorite mathematician. Better yet…you should bake your favorite mathematician a pie and think back fondly on your favorite math teacher.
- Ides of March. This is March 15th and you should review your Shakespeare to fully understand this one. Let’s just say that you should be wary of close friends stabbing you in the back on this day. Literally. Perhaps we should all pay more attention to soothsayers?
- March Madness. If college basketball is your thing, then March Madness is probably your version of heaven. Or close to it. The opening round begins March 16th and you should most definitely have your teams picked by then.
- St. Patrick’s Day. On March 17th, have your green on and shamrocks ready for this special day. Even if you’re not Irish, this holiday is one that encourages celebration by all. Besides, how often do you get the chance to drink green beer?
- House vote on Senate healthcare bill. The White House’s goal is to have the vote done on March 18th and while this one may not seem like the traditional type of celebration, if the bill passes, then we’re one step closer to health care reform. And what’s not to like about that?
Hopefully, something on that list catches your eye and causes you to celebrate…even just a little. Let us know in the comments what other fantastic March occurrences we forgot and help your fellow man to see the goodness that is March.
