Today’s Totally Random

Here’s
Decius Brutus, he shall tell them so.
-Julius Caesar
Tell what to
whom? Tell the senate that I’m not coming today. Decius Brutus will tell the
senate that Caesar is staying home today. But why? Because his wife says so.
Well, not exactly, but sort of. Calpurnia’s had all sorts of bad dreams about
Caesar meeting his end today. And now the priests are also advising Caesar to
stay home. And so, he’s decided that is what he will do: stay home.
But wait! Decius Brutus has other ideas and convinces Caesar to go. Well, I guess this is one time that Caesar should have listened to his wife. Ain’t that a real boot in the shorts.
Okay then, here's my Calpurnia, and my young associate's mother. Do we always listen to her? Well, I pretty much do. Do we always do what she says? Actually, on vacation, like here, we usually do, because she does all the planning and she's a pretty good planner. At home, on a day-to-day basis, do we do what she tells us to do? Um....let's just say, not always. Et tu Brute?
