My Very Favorite Holiday

6 More weeks of Mild Winter Folks! That's right. That's what Phil said. I love love love Groundhogs day! What a fabulous reason for a holiday. I think that we should get it off school. Or at the very least, Google should do an image for it. I tried to do some research as to why there is such a holiday, and to be truthful it was all pretty boring. I had a Meteorology Prof at ISU once tell me that Groundhogs day actually "works" in France and the weather can actually be determined by whether that bucked tooth little guy (which is actually a hedgehog there)sees his shadow or not. Luckily, today I got to be in France for my favorite holiday. Although the downside to that was we had to take Jim and Faith to the airport. We were sad to see them go. We really enjoyed our time with them. Well, John and I are both busily working away like beavers, (which are surprisingly close to groundhogs), so I should get back to the books.
