Full Moon, Strawberry Full Moon, Tim Russert

Full Moons during the warmer months are  particularly enjoyable.  More often than winter Full Moons, we can be outdoors and enjoy the Moon’s glow and  appearance. Tonight, we can observe the Strawberry Full Moon which arrives at 1:30pm EDT. While this is the time at which the Moon is completely full.  it really remains full for about 24 hours.

Why not celebrate this Strawberry Full Moon while night fishing, walking or just talking with friends. Better still , why not celebrate by eating some fresh strawberries.

On a more solemn note,  I have been following the attention America is paying to Tim Russert. While I never met Tim, I admired his work. Both Sandi and I are frequently  interviewed regarding the Farmers’ Almanac. I have been on national and local programs all over the country. From my perspective, Tim was the best interviewer in the business. He prepared for every guest and for every segment he was on the air. His delivery was firm but fair. If you prepared as well as he did, you “survived”.

In a world of 24 hour news and budget cuts, most reporters don’t (can’t) prepare the way they should. There is no one quite like Russert. NBC and  Meet the Press  will carve out a new personality and life will go on.  But, as life goes on, let us not forget a great man who shared talents, fair play and family values with his audience. God Bless you Tim!
