Groundhog Day

Super Bowl, and all that crap. By the time the "Big Game" comes on, I'll have finally drifted off to sleep (keep a good thought).
Anyway, sleepless again after a weekend of work (just the weekend).

Thought I would check in to give you the news, in case you missed it. According to CNN, Punxatawny is now located in Philadelphia.  True. During their coverage of the celebration and froo-froo surrounding the rodent, CNN had a descriptor in the top left corner of the screen, "Punxatawny, Philadelphia".

I get a kick out of this kind of goofy mistake. It makes me fantasize about getting work as a proof-reader for news tickers (those things running along the bottom of the TV screen have a name which is eluding me now...) and maybe for ethnic restaurants that struggle with English on their menus.

But, for one thing, that kind of service either doesn't exist, or doesn't pay what it does in my dreams. And, more importantly, anyone that follows my blogs already knows that I'm not kwalifide.

I hate football, or more accurately, professional sports in general, so take it for what it's worth. Denver by 6, take the over. (I pulled that out of my ass, in deference to family and friends in the Denver area).

Oh, and feel free to have roast groundhog today. The tooth-some little prick is calling for 6 more weeks of winter...

(On that note, there is ALWAYS six more weeks of winter around here, more or less, on February 2nd. Think, that just takes you to the middle of March...Now if the rodent could predict accurately that we get six MONTHS straight of snowy blizzards from now, then we'd be talking...)






Just one reason to be leery of sports. I have many more.

http://www.nytimes.com/1989/04/05/us/education-vermont-seeks-tighter-rules-for-prviate-schools.html We made the New York Times http://marthamoxley.com/news/042802gt.htm And our OTHER claim to infamy : Micheal Skakel and the Moxley murder This was one of the places I went to school. A very unique place in a very unique time. Pictured, the dining hall in the main building, "The Lodge", and a few years after the place closed down. For Vershireites with foggy memories (for whatever reasons), or nostalgia: http://web.archive.org/web/20080624190520/http://www.vershireschool.org/ I think Chip Allee put this together, but it's no longer maintained.
