I've spent my whole life telling people, "No, my birthday is the day AFTER Groundhog Day." I suppose it's a good reference point although the whole Feb. 2nd affair seems pretty stupid (not to mention unreliable) to me. Punxatawney Phil saw his shadow and predicts and early spring for 2011. WHERE?
Funnier - NYC's Mayor Bloomberg was caught on tape cursing the groundhog who bit him in 2009:

Apparently the Mayor and "Charles C. Hogg" got along much better this year.
So yeah, today is my birthday. The fun includes rehearsal for the Parkland Concert band (I play french horn) and a trip to the vet to learn how to give my newly-diagnosed diabetic cat insulin injections (twice a day). I'm not complaining, though. It's been a great day and I'm happy, healthy, and blessed in many, many ways. I don't believe for a second, however, that WE will be blessed with an early spring.
