Yeah, right Phil

Punxsatawney Phil tells us that spring is just around the corner. What he forgot to mention is that it takes at least 2 months to find the right corner.

I like Groundhog Day for my own perverse reason. I like the movie (and wish TBS would play it all day like they do "A Christmas Story") and I like the silly charm of the small town events wherein a giant sleeping guinea pig is dragged from his bed and imbued with the gift of meterological prognostication. I'll take a gopher over Al Roker ANY day. But what I like most about Groundhog Day is just how disgusted (and disgusting) my kids are about dinner. Every year on Feb 2 I make a hearty 2 lb or so meatloaf, and present it, with wide-eyed innocence as groundhog. I mean it is Groundhog Day, right? What else would you serve. Don't people refer to the last Thursday in November as Turkey Day? ::Snort:: This year's beasty had 4 little legs, splayed on the platter. Scott contributed the autopsy carving. Ketchup anyone? Would you like a leg? Tori was revolted. Simon asked if next year he could help, and could we do tire marks, ala roadkill. Sure honey, nothing like bonding over rodent shaped ground beef.

I'm sick. hee!
