That 'scientific' definition of Blue Moon came into being when it was 
published in Sky and Telescope.

John deserves a Fan Club, but I'm not a joiner.

I'm going to New York City. Leaving Saturday morning (day after 
tomorrow) and returning after a week and a day November 10. If I'm 
smart, tomorrow night I'll be packing rather than reading e-mail. I 
hope I'll be able to catch up on e-mail when I get back!
