Today I'm thankful for...
Groundhog Day!
"Phil? Hey, Phil. Phil! Phil Connors? Phil Connors, I thought that was you!"
Ah yes, Groundhog Day. The day when we rely on a groundhog in Pennsylvania to determine whether or not we'll have six more weeks of winter. It's one of those odd sort-of holidays that people acknowledge but (to my knowledge) there aren't any major celebrations for. However, the proliferation of quotes from the movie Groundhog Day on my Facebook news feed made it a holiday worth celebrating in my book.
For the curious, the groundhog saw his shadow, which means six more weeks of winter. Or, six more weeks of mildly deceptive springlike weather that makes all of us have spring fever six weeks too early. Tomato, tomahto.
