Blue Moon
There was a Blue Moon on New Year's Eve For the first time in almost 20 years, and Europeans could also see a lunar eclipse.
Once in a Blue Moon
The modern, popular meaning of "blue moon" is a second full moon in a month. The moon cycle is about 29.5 days long, and some years have 13 full moons instead of 12.
An older, more technical definition of blue moon is the third full moon in a season that has four full moons and can only occur in February, May, August, or November, about a month before an equinox or solstice.

Quotations
"The time is always right to do what is right."
- Martin Luther King, Jr.
"So like an old woman at her hearth, we warm our hand at our sorrows and drop in faggots,
and each thinks his own fire a sun, in presence of which all other fires should go out."
- J. M. Barrie
"Living is a form of not being sure, not knowing what next or how. The moment you know how, you begin to die a little.
The artist never entirely knows. We guess. We may be wrong, but we take leap after leap in the dark."
- Agnes DeMille
