Beware the Ides of March. The 15th of March is an auspicious day in history. In the year 44BC Julius Caesar was stabbed to death in the senate by conspiritors led by Brutus and Longinus. In 1906, the Rolls Royce was introduced.The Godfather opened on March 15th, 1972. And in 1954 this blogger was born and thus far, has never been at a loss for words. If you want to know what happened in history on your birthday go to "This day in History."
Since this is about my birthday, how about some cake – taken in Vienna at the world famous Demel’s. Described in the Washington Post: Its baroque decor, thick with chandeliers and ornate murals of frolicking water nymphs, can get a bit unctuous. And the dour waitresses in their stern black habits could well be mistaken for an order of nuns devoted to disciplining naughty hedonists. But the dazzling spectacle of glass cabinets teaming with chocolate, trays heaped with cookies and biscuits, and tier upon tier of pastries of every conceivable shape, color and content, makes Demel’s a shrine to sweet-toothed devotees. Every word is the truth, I think "dour" must have been in the servers’ job description. I don’t have much of a sweet tooth, but their goulash soup was exquisite.
