Good sunny morning from Collegeville,

Another beautiful day in central Minnesota. In this neck of the woods, we get the clean low humidity air coming down from Canada every once in a while. Last weekend we were at a beach house north of Two Harbors and it was hot and humid with no breeze at all. The kids found the beach to be a fun place anyway. Next week I am going to the cabin for the week to swim and read books.
Tonight at 8:02 pm, the blue moon will rise in the eastern sky.
“The term has traditionally referred to an “extra” moon, where a year which normally has 12 moons has 13 instead. The “blue moon” reference is applied to the third moon in a season with four moons,[1] thus correcting the timing of the last month of a season that would have otherwise been expected too early. This happens every two to three years (seven times in the Metonic cycle of 19 years).[2] The March 1946 issue of Sky & Telescope misinterpreted the traditional definition, which led to the modern colloquial misunderstanding that a blue moon is a second full moon in a single solar calendar month with no seasonal link. Owing to the rarity of a blue moon, the term “blue moon” is used colloquially to mean a rare event, as in the phrase “once in a blue moon”. Source Wikipedia “
The APHC show this week is a repeat from April of 2011 at The Town Hall in New York City. Sarah Jarosz sings “Come Around”, Tom Rush plays “Drivin Wheel”, Shai Wosner performs Schubert’s “Impromptu Op. 90 No. 2” and Sutton Foster and Colin Donnell stop by for “You’re the Top” from Anything Goes. In the News From Lake Wobegon, Lyle watches over a tundra swan that has decided to be a dog. Enjoy the show.

There will not be a Friday note next Friday, since I will be on vacation.
