Tomorrow is the so called "
Blue Moon" and if
Isaac doesn't interfere you will be able to enjoy it. Ironic and fitting because the private funeral services for
Neil Armstrong will be held in Cincinnati tomorrow. Many of us were around to witness, on live TV, "
one small step" that Armstrong took on the moon. It is/was one of those moments to recall "where were you'? I was a teen at the time, it was a hot summer evening in Wisconsin. To this day it still seems unbelievable (do you really think it was shot on a Hollywood back lot by
Walt Disney?).
The Armstrong family has made an interesting suggestion for a tribute to Neil, calling it "
Wink at the Moon" The statement Armstrong's family realeased upon his death requested that the public honor his example of service, accomplishment and modesty, adding "
and the next time you walk outside on a clear night and see the moon smiling down at you, think of Neil Armstrong and give him a wink".
Neil here's to ya!
