Looks like the little dude says winter will continue. Which is a good thing, because I need to lose a few pounds of vanity weight before I squeeze into my bathing suit.

Who is a fan of Groundhog Day  the movie? Show of hands people or comments would be nice!

I’ve always liked Bill Murray. Not only for his important role in Ghostbusters but because he was a friend of Hunter S. Thompson. It seems that everyone who knew Mr. Thompson is a bit quirky, intelligent and creative just like him. Before Johnny Depp’s role in Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas, Bill Murray starred in Where the Buffalo Roam, a 1980 comedy film based on short stories by Hunter S. Thompson.

I have a connection with the movie Groundhog Day because it was filmed in the little town where I was born, Woodstock, IL. When I was a kid, I thought I was born at Woodstock, meaning Woodstock the festival of peace, love, music, naked mud dancing, and people high on life so to speak.

Looks like Woodstock, IL does a yearly celebration for Groundhog Day. Check out this fun video of Woodstock Willie from 2008, thanks to YouTuber JohnnyBrewster.
