Two blue moons, fireworks and a fervent prayer bode for a good 2010
Here's to starting the new year with good vibes. To begin with, there's a blue moon (actually, two -- this January and March) rising. Contrary to what the term connotes, a blue moon doesn't mean we'll literally be seeing a blue-colored moon. Rather, it's a second full moon to occur in a single month.According...
