Here is a flashback to Groundhog Day 2001 when Darren and I traveled from opposite coasts to meet in a tiny hamlet in western Pennsylvania called Punxsutawney.

I learned a few things that day.

  1. Punxsutawney looks nothing like how it is portrayed in the movie.

  2. Phil does not like the plexiglass box they keep him in.

  3. Phil does not like people invading his personal space.

  4. It takes a special kind of person to stand in a field in the dead of winter and listen to a weather prognosticating rodent.

Happy Groundhog Day!
