March has always held a special place in my heart. I don’t “beware the Ides of March” at all. In fact, I kind of like them. (Writer’s note: I am not 100 percent sure what an Ide is).

My affinity for this month has always centered on basketball. It is, after all, the 30-day period in which we are all susceptible to March Madness. March Madness is easily my favorite calendar-related illness. I like it a lot more than February Fever, December Dementia or even November N-Sanity.
