FUN FACT: The second full moon in a (solar) month is called a 'blue moon', hence 'once in a blue moon'.
OFF TOPIC: I've just uploaded my alternative/ complimentary take on the 'bird flu' hysteria which doesn't seem to get enough coverage. I suspect they are trying to kill two birds with one (imaginary) particle ... so to speak.
So really it means "second full moon in a calendar month" -- muggles never heard of a solar month, but I changed the definition to yours on Thursday's STARCAST
BTW dear Eric, your concept of “compersion” (I think it was) opened me (circa 2005) to a more expansive view of ‘infidelity’. You gave me a place to stand besides ‘victim’. Eternally grateful. 🥰
No worries. My daughters and son tell me I’m soon to turn 80. Duh!!
