02/04/2008: "Thanks A Lot, Phil ..."

America's favorite rodent, Punxatawny Phil, popped his head out of the burrow on Saturday just long enough to see his shadow. That's right, sports fans - 6 more weeks of winter. Just what I need.

Here at the Home Office, we're a classic 60's beach house. That means there's not a stitch of insulation in the place. Normally, that's no big deal, since the temperature band is only about 20 degrees. This winter, though, it's been particularly nasty, with outside temperatures dropping into the 30's. That means inside temperatures in the 30's, too - which pretty much sucks. So another month and a half of winter doesn't put much of a smile on my grill.

The one ray of hope is that Phil's rival, Georgia's General Beauregard Lee, went shadowless, so we have a split decision. Unfortunately, I fear that tie goes to Phil ...
