happy Groundblog Day

Different groundhogs for different places and therefore different forecasts. Naturally. 

See, the sun shines in the winter in Winnipeg.  I get SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) in Toronto because it's so bleak and dreary here.  But in Winnipeg sunshine the groundhog always sees its shadow and that's why they always get six more weeks of winter. In Toronto there's no excuse; it's just blah.

Does everyone remember the movie "Groundhog Day"? I have an old video of it and I watch it every year.  Bill Murray always was a good actor; people are only just beginning to realize it.  And the moral of the story is a zinger. 

So stay happy.  well, if not HAPPY, at least -- content.
 

happy February first

I almost forgot to say it because i've written it twice already today: once when I signed in to swim because we have to let the city know how many bodies are using the pool - for the Ph factor, I think; and the second time when I wrote it in my diary, which these days is not as generous as my blog, because sometimes I spread myself too thin.  Anyway, you know what?  It's not quite midnight so I'm in and that's a good thing because tomorrow is Groundhog Day and I can't let that go by, either. What would we do without milestones?

I promised myself in my January generic letter that I would do something about my sock drawer and again belatedly I realized that it's February already and before I write a February generic I had better do something about the socks so I did. What would we do without deadlines?

Today was better, not only because of the socks.
