Groundhog Day

I hate groundhogs, especially the one who lives in Punxsutawny PA.    Every year on February 2, they drag that hapless rodent from his hole for his prognostication.   Only one year he supposedly, did not see his shadow. 

Although the winter has been on the milder side, I am ready for spring.   We really have not had a major snowstorm this year,  I don't think we had one last year either.  

I went to the Cardiac Anesthesia Conference and it was quite good.  The speaker all had their native language as English and everything is now presented on Power Point.  The Power Points graphics are all in color and it is much better than those boring black and white slides.  

I still , and never will be, looking forward to this new development.   Some people came from as far away as Erie.   That is a two and a half hour drive.   I would have stayed over night tonight if I had done that.   It was well attended and quite informative.

The rodent was pulled from his stump by members of the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club Inner Circle -- top-hat- and tuxedo-wearing businessmen.

Punxsutawney Phil didn't like what he saw outside his stump: the rodent predicts six more weeks of winter, according to his handlers.
