Once In A Blue Moon

A full moon occurred December 31, 2009, the second time during the month which made it an official “Blue Moon”. The next time we should see two full moons in one month will be August, 2012 (which, incidentally, was the month I had originally planned to retire). The next time a “blue moon” will coincide with a new year’s eve is calculated to be in 2028. Hopefully, you, I, the country and the world will be around to see it. If I do, I’ll be 1/3 of my way through my 80th year. On one hand, this is encouraging since the chance of this happening is so much better than the odds of me seeing Halley’s Comet again (July 2068). On the other hand, it might be a moot point if it is too overcast (or smoggy) to see it. In that case, I'll just listen to Elvis Presley croon it from a record/CD/MP3/MPEG4/Internet or whatever form exists in the future.

BEST WISHES FOR A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

(AND AN EVEN HAPPIER NEW DECADE)!!
