Let me rephrase that. I'm sure I paid attention to moons when I was a kid, too. But it took my own children to get me to stop, breath the dry air and look up into the sky. <br /><br />(I apologize that I use your blog so frequently to process my own journey through fatherhood. Strange, huh?)<br /><br />I remember hearing that "lunatic" meant insanity relating to the phases of the moon. Others tell me that "lunatic" referred originally to people who followed the moon. <br /><br />Either way, it's we're becoming more insane as a society when we are no longer lunatics.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10956056168256756705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4956989639073843954.post-74490493417966467002010-01-01T09:59:57.912-05:002010-01-01T09:59:57.912-05:00Dear KCL,

I don;t want to upset the lambs with the occasional glimpses of doom here.<br /><br />(I love your blog--I will be linking to it shortly.)<br /><br /><br />Dear Kathryn, <br /><br />I lose my grip on the moon at times, not sure why, but get reset when high tide rolls around 6 PM here.<br /><br />(Any beer that is associated with adjuncts makes me wonder about the beer--throwing a lemon in a mediocre but well-advertised beer may raise your coolness in a chic bar but disqualifies you from your local zymurgist society.)doylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12901661320505882735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4956989639073843954.post-58693078163366303222009-12-31T17:19:15.393-05:002009-12-31T17:19:15.393-05:00I always follow the moon cycle despite living in o...I always follow the moon cycle despite living in one of the cloudiest cities. I still get excited about Blue Moons even though, as you said, the calendar is an artificial construct. The moon phase widget is cool!<br /><br />I did use the event as an excuse to buy Blue Moon beer which I like but never ever ever let them add a slice of orange. I have the same reaction to lime with my Dos Equis. Beer is beer and punch is punch.<br /><br />Happy New Year! I am grateful for your blog and wish you nothing but the best for the next 13 moon cycles and beyond.Kathryn Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16757414380685368592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4956989639073843954.post-63497260713358505562009-12-31T16:23:44.456-05:002009-12-31T16:23:44.456-05:00I did.
