What Does Groundhog Day Mean To You?

Gutten tag!

Today, February 2nd, is Groundhog Day. Punxsutawney Phil (forgive an unsure typo) sticks his head out of his hole and determines whether or not we'll be seeing Spring anytime soon.

It makes for a relatively harmless "holiday", although I'd be hard-pressed to find anything holy about it. Does Groundhog Day do anything for ya? Huh? Does it?

I can almost see the old days, back before the noble Groundhog was tamed by the animal known as Man... The Groundhog strode the earth like a brown fuzzy god, not predicting the weather but in fact commanding it. The clouds would part, the sun would smile down warmly, and the ice would melt at the whim of the Groundhog... or not.

It could just be a good reason to watch one of Bill Murray's best movies. Made in 1992... what was it called again? Dang. It just left my brain. Oh! Ghostbusters! No. That's not the one...
