The Kalends
March 1, April 1, May 1, June 1, July 1, August 1, September 1, October 1, November 1, December 1, January 1, February 1

The Nones
March 7, April 5, May 7, June 5, July 7, August 5, September 5, October 7, November 5, December 5, January 5, February 5

The Ides
March 15, April 13, May 15, June 13, July 15, August 13, September 13, October 15, November 13, December 13, January 13, February 13
How to remember it

Everything can be summarized in three simple rules, one of which has a poem associated with it.
The Kalends always falls on the first of the month. The Nones falls on the fifth, except as described by the following poem:
March, July, October, May
The Nones are on the seventh day
The Ides falls 8 days after the Nones.

And all this time I thought it was a rock group from the 60's, thanks for the info.

Easter kubbing has been completed. Incredibly beautiful 59 degree day. About to enjoy a corned beef brisket lovingly prepared by my bride. Damn, life is good.

HAHAHAHAHAHA. I was on Facebook and they popped up a post I made 4 years ago about Trayvon Martin's mom cashing in on his death...

It is requested by the Fulton-Martin family that when using Trayvon's name in angry signs demanding justice, that all protesters add the appropriate symbol following Trayvon's name:

I am TrayvonŠ = Copyright 2012
Justice for Trayvon™ = Trademark
TrayvonŽ = Registered Trademark

Thank you.
**Official Trayvon ™ protest hoodies available at all fine clothing stores near you. Get yours today!**

I think I won the Internet that day.
