A large rodent pops its head out of a box and some oddly dressed humans proclaim whether or not our winter weather will last six more weeks. Yeah, that’s weird.</p> <p><img src="http://www.frugalyankee.com/files/GHD.jpg" align="left" width="180" height="200" hspace="10"> That said, Groundhog Day has a soft spot in my heart. Back when the world was in black and white and I was a young lad of 15, my first real girlfriend Shari Murphy had her birthday on Groundhog Day. It was fun celebrating her birthday when our hormones were raging.</p> <p> Many years later I got divorced on Groundhog Day. Yep, our court date was set for February 2. As my soon-to-be-ex-wife and I were walking into the courtroom, I looked her in the eye and said, "It's Groundhog Day. If I see my shadow, does that mean we have six more weeks of marriage?". She didn't think it was funny. Maybe that was our problem.</p> <!-- google_ad_section_end --><p><a href="http://www.frugalyankee.com/node/461">read more</a></p> http://www.frugalyankee.com/node/461#comment Wed, 16 Apr 2008 19:16:54 -0400 Garen Daly 461 at http://www.frugalyankee.com
