Phil Says Spring Is Just Around The Corner
February 2, 2007 – 9:20 am
Everyone has their favorite days of the year. Since I grew up in Pennsylvania, my favorite days include Super Bowl Sunday (since the Steelers were usually playing in the game) and February 2, Groundhog Day. Usually, by this time of year, winter was beginning to wear a little thin and we were anxious to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Everyone gathered around the television on Groundhog Day, the one day of the year that we hoped the sun wouldn’t shine so Punxsutawney Phil wouldn’t see his shadow. As the legend has it, if Phil sees his shadow, there will be six more weeks of winter.
If you don’t know about the legend of Punxsutawney Phil and his predictions, visit the official site of the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club. You can see Phil’s prediction if you are lucky enough to get through to the site today. However, since you are a reader of The Sisyphus Comments, and as you know we always have the scoop – let me be the first to say no sunshine in PA today!
