This past Monday was Groundhog Day.   It has always amazed me that a groundhog gets a "day."     I wonder how all the other animals feel about that?   No offense to the critters, but Groundhog Day is probably best known because of the 1993 movie with Bill Murray.   If you haven’t seen the movie you probably know the premise.   A disgruntled television reporter is sent to Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania to cover the Groundhog Day festivities and is further disgruntled when he is snowed in and has to stay another night.   He wakes up the next day and, instead of it being the day after groundhog day, it's groundhog day all over again.   This cycle humorously repeats itself giving Phil, the disgruntled reporter, a chance to perfect that day.   Through a process of trial and error he gets to relive a day until he finally gets it right.   Happy ending.   Roll the credits. The movie, of course, is fantasy.   Things like that...
