GROUNDHOG DAY 2004

Finally the Elders of the Groundhog Inner Circle brought some peace to Gobblers Knob by reminding the crowd that Phil does not control the weather.  Instead he is only the messenger.  He was placed in a Popemobile-like protective case and put on display for his loyal followers to glorify and admire.

Caged Phil

As the crowd diminished, I approached the large stage where Phil resided in hope of getting a glimpse of the wonderous weather rodent.  To my utter amazement I was greeted by the President of the Groundhog Inner Circle and was blessed by his holy presence. My journey was complete.  I had become a true Pennsylvanian.

My Punxy Moment of Zen

I met many interesting people in Punxsutawney.  We all gathered in a remote forest setting in southern Jefferson County, Pennsylvania with one purpose in mind... to become true converts of Phil and to fulfill our life's destinies.  Sure, it was cold and I was tired from lack of sleep.  But it was well worth it.  Would I ever go back to Punxsutawney?   In a heartbeat... So long and thanks for all the fish.
