Almost everything I know about Groundhog Day, I learned from watching the movie Groundhog Day, starring Bill Murray and Andie MacDowell. I really like that movie, and as I watched it the first time I kept thinking, "I like this movie, but I don't know anybody I would recommend it to." The kind of person who, like me, prefers to sit in on a rehearsal than to see the finished show, who likes to watch dancers work on one move over and over with someone helping them become a little closer to perfection each time, who would rather attend batting practice than watch a baseball game--that's who really enjoys Groundhog Day. It's a glimpse of the creative process. It's funny, too.
So tomorrow is Groundhog Day, and here in South Florida the sun is bound to be shining. The Florida version of a groundhog may be something like an iguana; when it sees its shadow and returns to its burrow or tree or whatever, we'll have six more weeks of winter and we'll be glad of it. It's summer that's the endurance contest here. Winter is Easy Street.
Happy Groundhog Day!

cr--YOU spelled it right, but I was spelling it wrong yesterday, I thought I probably was, but couldn't look it up because I didn't know how to spell it, classic catch-22.
So thank you for your valuable contribution, as well as the interesting celebrity info...
I worked with a guy who went to high school in Punxsutawney but went to college in Atlanta which has their own groundhog. He insisted that only the real Punxsutawney Phil counted and other groundhogs were imposters.
