Groundhog Day, 2020 A year ago tomorrow, we went to go see Punxsutawney Phil. You surely know about him: he’s the famous groundhog—the ‘prognosticator of prognosticators’—who, on the basis of whether or not he sees his shadow, issues a vague weather forecast. The ‘holiday’ of Groundhog’s Day is without a doubt one of the most absurd traditions in America. But it happened to fall on a Sunday, and I didn’t have to teach on Monday; and Ellen acquired this amazing “Punxy” jacket at a thrift shop in Toronto a few years back, so we decided to make the drive from Beacon to Punxsutawney.
Life is short, praise the groundhog
Life is short, praise the groundhog
