Happy Groundhog's Day!
It began innocently enough when I was in college at UWSP back in the day. My college roommate Paula and I were trying to come up with a reason why we shouldn't stay home and study. When we realized it was Groundhog's Day, it was as good as any reason to go out. Since that time, we have both always celebrated this very overlooked holiday.
Every year my kids and I celebrate the holiday in a big way. We make groundhog cup cakes, we eat brown food on February 2, and of course we watch the epic movie "Groundhog Day" with Bill Murray. For days before the big day, we take pleasure in asking people "So, what are you doing for the holiday?" and watching the confusion on their faces. I've promised them next year a pilgrimage to Punxsutawney PA to watch the real festivities so we can really celebrate in style.
So here's wishing you a Happy Groundhog's Day, and remember what Bill Murray says to the Groundhog..."Don't drive angry"
