I love Groundhog Day! It’s probably one of the most pointless holidays on the calendar, but I love it anyway. Perhaps it’s because it’s only 2 days prior to my birthday, and thus gets caught up in the excitement associated with that event. Perhaps it’s because all the tradition and celebration surrounding the act of asking a groundhog whether or not he saw his shadow on a particular day really amuses me. Perhaps it’s because it’s the day that I get to show off my Pennsylvania pride, because Pennsylvania is the home of the official groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil. Whatever the reason, I was anxious to visit PunxsutawneyPhil.com this morning to discover Phil’s prognostication. So what did the groundhog have to say? When Phil was taken out of his stump, he proclaimed to the world that he had seen his shadow, which means 6 more weeks of winter.
