Our little hometown newspaper had a lovely photograph taken somewhere in Arizona showing a huge moon hanging above a ridge of pine trees. The photograph accompanied an explanation of the phrase "Once in a Blue Moon". Nowadays, it refers to the second full moon that occurs within a month but years ago it used to mean something that was a rare and infrequent event.
Thinking about infrequent happenings made me wander mentally into some of the things I hope only happen Once in a Blue Moon. Sort of in order of importance....
Piccpiper having an auto accident.
Terrorists targeting our shore any time.
Waking up to snow in Florida.
Starbucks running out of No Sugar Added Banana Bread.
Someone punching an elderly Wal-Mart Greeter. (Yes, that happened! Can you imagine?)
Starbucks running out of hot chocolate.
Ol-Doc getting a dumb old ticket.
Arson
Floods
Riots
And just about any other bad thing you can imagine happening to those you love.
The coming year is a fresh slate. Let's all write with a gentle hand and try and watch out for each other. Happy 2010! Now, go . . . write the year ahead in your checkbooks!

The Starbucks down here tell me they no longer carry sugar free banana. As in never have again. It was too good anyway. Something in there was so moist and sweet.
Yes, I was so disappointed when the cashier told me the same thing and she already new I wasn't going to like what she said. So.....I stayed calm and ordered an egg and cheese breakfast sandwich.
First...the Milano Sugar Free Cookies were taken away by Publix, and now the no sugar added banana loaf cake was taken away by the Starbucks Bakery. Whats next, Godiva sugar free chocolate. Better not......
They took the Godiva sugar-free stuff out of the catalogs they send to me. I haven't been to the Godiva store to ask, though. There is always hope.
