I believe we've all heard of the phenomenon of a Blue Moon, where there are two full moons during one calendar month, and the mystery and legends that surround the occurrence.  There are those who believe that a child conceived under a blue moon will be Wise as Solomon.  And there are those who consider the blue moon to be aligned with the occult and black arts.  Who are these people..?   I dunno... what, I gotta do all the leg work here?

This month, October, 2010 has something else going on.  This October has 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays all in the same month.  According to the e-mail I received from my sister, this only happens once every 823 years.   (I wasn't around for the last one, so I'm going to assume that this e-mail has some expertise, and dub it the "expert" on this subject).

(ooh... I can feel the hairs raise on the back of my neck).  What does this portend? ... well, I suppose it's a good thing for Sunday football in Octobeer, but otherwise, I don't know.

Now, you can consider this lucky... you can consider it an omen... or you can simply stop opening e-mails from my sister.  Your call!

Alan - Does you sister get half the points?  Great job and I love the Easter Island graphics (?)  ... in blue no less ... however, when I ask my 8-ball ... it keeps saying "ask again later" ... so I guess there's going to be a later!

Not to nit-pick, but if it was going to happen anyway....would have been nice in the summer.

5 Friday night happy hours, 5 Saturday shopping days and 5 lazy football Sundays?  Sounds good to me!

Hey Kerrie - I know... sounds good to me, too.

UPDATE: Someone just pointed out to me that we had the exact same occurence only 9 months ago... in January of 2010... (I had to look it up... they were right)... so I guess this isn't quite as rare as the anonymous e-mail from my sister had claimed...   Yeesh, what have we come to, when we can't even rely on some anonymous thing we've read on the internet!!??

Fantastic!  My favorite month already but this year it is particularly good, no?  More time to sell, show, prepare, open house, etc!

I was unaware of this my friend, I honestly thought this would have something to do with a deal from Domino's Pizza or Sonic when I read the title.

JL - I hadn't made that connection... maybe I was subliminally hungry when I wrote it?

I thought I had commented on this a couple of weeks ago. Did you delete my comment? I see comments #16 and #17 are missing?

I have received the same email several times, first in August and then again in October. I don’t care who forwards these emails to me – friend or foe – I always go to snopes.com to check them out. I usually find that I never have to forward them to anyone else. J

P.S. Thanks for letting me camp out in your blog this morning. I stayed longer than I had intended, but I had so much fun. Hope I didn't leave too big of a mess.

Let me know if you decode that. J

Russel - nope, I didn't delete any of your posts...  I always check with snopes, too.  Oddly enough, with this one, i didn't.  You're always welcome on my blog... you didn't leave a mess, you left a trail of excellent comments.
