Happy Groudhog Day

I'm pretty sure that Bill Murray didn't see his shadow so I think that means only two more films starring the sad, befuddled, hip, observer character before he gets all slapstick on us again.

Oh, the sun is going to be shining brightly on all of us. The world needs a break from this dark shadow of American (gag) Idol and Fear of Mooninites. I say, enough with the groud hogs, let's see some sky hogs. That's something worth talking about. Get those babies air-born.

Can you have a spring without having had a winter first? Does a spring spring if it hasn't been compressed by snow? It hasn't snowed once this year yet. What pictures are they going to use for all the 2008 New England Calendars? The TV says that it is supposed to snow tonight, but they also say that there is a such thing as ground hogs and we all stopped believing in those years ago.

Is it just me? Is it my age? Or is the nation and maybe the world due for some positive vibes? Have the political powers of our recent years cast a shadow over the whole world? Of course, the mythical ground-beast can't see it's shadow, the sunshine has been blocked by enormous smug talking heads.

C'mon everyone, snap-to-it. Put some bounce in your step. Put some sparkle in your eyes. It's ground-beef day! Have a salad! We'll show 'em what for.
