Default Groundhog Day
Our groundhog, where I live, did not see his shadow...wait, her shadow?

This 'feast' is actually, 'imbolc', the day that celebrates, the midway point between solstice and the equinox. It was a old gaelic feast, that became St. Brigid's day...somehow it became groundhog day. Altho, this day has been called, St. Bridies day, Candlemass, St. Blaise's day when throat blessing is done. Also, it celebrates, Ewe's giving birth to lambs.

I dunno, some people look for a reason to party.

Kind of an all purpose day.

I always felt that I missed out on all of the fun by being protestant... the nuns, genuflecting, etc...now I hear that you get your throat blessed...boy!

Phil seemed to not care what was going on, but his handlers all seemed to have been tipping the bottle a bit.

Fred Flintstones birthday huh, where do we send the cards???

6 more weeks on winter, 6 weeks until spring, whatever...can't get here soon enough. Time flies so quickly anymore, it will be spring next week.
