Ground Hogs Day
 
My dear wife's snoring was so bad this morning, she woke me out of my deep winter hibernation! Grrrrr! So, I decide to poke my head out of my hole and check out my little hamlet! Wrong move! There were tons of tv cameras, lights, photographers and reporters. How would you like to wake up and stare into the faces of Willard Scott, Bryant Gumbel, Barbara Walters, Dan Rather and the rest of that motley crew before your first cup of Starbucks?? What the heck is all this fuss about Ground Hog's Day? Didn't anyone ever tell these ego maniacs that Ground Hogs really can't predict the weather? Did I see my shadow? I was so startled by all the hubaboloo, I forgot to look. Tune in to your local news tonight, I am sure they will tell you.

Listen Phil it's Groundhog Day, not Ground Hogs Day. You make it sound like bunch of pigs taking up too much space. <BR> <BR>And another thing, we always get another 6 weeks of freakin' winter whether you see your shadow or not. Some areas get even more than six weeks. You need a new PR person. <BR>

Whew, what a relief! I thought Ground Hogs Day was a big holiday commemorating sausage!

Forgive my spelling of groundhog! How would you like to look at Barbara Walters at 7am? Believe me, it ain't a pretty site! Gotta go back in the hole, 6 more weeks of winter! Now, where did I put those earplugs and my bottle of fiddich???? Guess I'll have to settle for cheap cognac!
