Puxatawny Phil saw his shadow. Six more weeks of winter? Hmmm. I know that I’ll probably be choking down these words in the coming weeks, but c’mon… we haven’t really even had any winter to speak of. Meanwhile, nearer home, Staten Island Chuck did not see his shadow… he is from Saten Island though… I guess time will tell…

We started our Groundhog Day presentation of Groundhog Day with footage (can one even refer to it as footage any more?) of the legendary rodent and the elaborate prodeedings surrounding his annual outing from earlier in the day. One of our guests hit the nail on the head with the comment, “Didn’t you show this before?”

Pair o’ dogs-icly, we are looking after/thinking of adopting another Jack Russell Terrier who was present at the screening. His name is Bill, and another guest christened him “Bill Furry” as an homage to Groundhog Day’s leading man (we have some funny people at MovieNight!). He’s super sweet, but we’re not sure whether his presence will make Flea happy. Of course, Flea’s happiness is of the utmost importance. Stay tuned.
