So, we’re all taking the day off. The kids don’t have school, ETS<\/a> is officially closed due to weather (which means I’m not teaching until next week).<\/p>\n

I’m getting sick of winter already. They say a certain PA groundhog<\/a> can determine wether spring will arrive soon, or if winter has six more weeks to do its worst. This all happens on February 2. Tomorrow. Um… I don’t think we need Punxsutawney Phil to tell us the inevitable. Do you?<\/p>\n

UPDATE: Feb 3, 2011. In a meteorological SHOCKER, Punxsy Phil did NOT see his shadow, so he predicts an early spring. In this 125 year tradition, the groundhog sees his shadow 9 times out of 10, and then goes back into his den. (Or he could be scared by all the flashing cameras.)<\/strong><\/p>\n

AND! Can someone tell me why February can’t borrow a day from January and a day from March to get up to a more normal 30 day month? Those few days seem, well, important.<\/p>\n

FEBRUARY FREEBIES:
\nFor 3 years now, I’ve used February to give away gifts. I have the first one here: 10 oz of Premium Chocolate (premium for central Pennsylvania, that is.)<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

To try for this goodie, leave a comment, before Feb 14, telling us about the last fantastic chocolate experience you’ve had. What did you eat, etc? One fortunate or creative reader will get the Gold. Good luck.<\/strong><\/p>\n
