Have you heard the saying “Once in a blue moon”?
Well, there is a rare blue moon happening Friday August 31st and it has an even deeper meaning as that is also the day of a private service for Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon. Armstrong died last Saturday at age 82.
A blue moon accurs when there is a second full moon in one calendar month. It will not happen again until July 2015.
Armstrong’s family has suggested paying tribute to him by looking at that full moon on Friday night and giving the astronaut a wink!
One of my favorite quotes from him is:
I believe every human has a finite number of heartbeats. I don’t intend to waste any of mine.
