Groundhog Day
Sunday, February 2, 2003 by Mr_Ph00ey2u | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I woke up this morning to my clock radio playing a Sonny & Cher tune. 
Today in the US is Groundhog Day. If the groundhog comes out of his burrow and sees his shadow there will be 6 more weeks of winter. Punxsutawney Phil "the offical Groundhog" saw his shadow today. Bundle Up!
Why am I getting this feeling of Deja Vu?

Ohh! I wonder if Ted Turner will run the Bill Murray movie of the same name. You know, like it runs every other day of the the darn year.....or so it seems.

Interesting origin of Groundhog Day!
Imbolc is also known as Imbolg, Oimelc or Candlemas and is the original celebration that led to the modern Groundhog Day. The name is derived from the old Gaelic word for "ewe's milk". This was the time of year that the farm animals would be giving birth, and their milk was beginning to flow. Milk plays a large part in traditional Imbolc foods.
This is also a holiday dedicated to the Irish Goddess Brigid, in her maiden aspect. The Christian version of this holiday is Saint Brigit's Day, as the Christians attempted to convert the Pagan countryfolk to the church. Many of the practices and symbols of Imbolc relate to Brigid (prounounced Breed).
I learn something new everyday!
Still can't kick this feeling of deja vu!
