Groundhog Day 2012 . . .


I must say I am a little intrigued with the whole Groundhog seeing his shadow thing.  The news outlets make a big deal about it, but does anyone really ever remember what Phil the Groundhog predicted weeks later? How is he held accountable?  Do they find a new guy if Phil's accuracy rate falls.  Are all groundhogs able to perdict the weather.  How do we know if this is the same Phil year after year?  How was this Phil qualified to be the predicter of weather?   And seriously . . .  Phil is in Punxsutawney, PA, do we really think he knows about the weather here in Dallas?  The weathermen can't even get it right most of the time! 

I think my intrigue with all things Phil began with Bill Murray!  You know the movie I am talking about, Groundhog Day.  A high on himself new caster if forced for the fourth year to go Pennsylvania to provide coverage of Groundhog Day.  His producer goes along for the ride, played by the beautiful Andie McDowell, and their camera man/driver is played by Chris Elliot.

He wakes up on Groundhog Day to Sonny & Cher music, day after day after day!  He tries all things to make it February 3rd.  This movie is so funny, I can recite the words, I know every scene.  It is a favorite withour boys.  Its a doozie!
