I hope you all take note of Willie

I hope you all take note of Willie's completely accurate Superbowl prediction -- Willie got two hits in one with this year's prognostics. Did Phil dare a pick? The General? Sam? Those Manitoba puppets? Did anyone venture a fave-to-win? No sir ...

but Willie did.

I know what you want to know: Should I buy a sweater? Or a thong.
Well, you can bet on the latter

It's February 2nd here in Groundhog Country and before I go anywhere I'll tell you what you want to know: At 8:14 this morning, Wiarton Willie (marmota prognosticus) proclaimed to the world that he did not see his shadow, and thus did herald an early spring.

We started out at 5:17 this morning; I'd packed it in last night just after midnight, way too late considering but no, I wasn't partying in prep, I was fighting with machines trying to figure out why Drupal and my cellphone wouldn't talk to each other (nothing in the server logs, so I suspect it's somewhere in Rogersland where it goes astray). Nolan and Kaelin had asked Mama about going to the Prediction, them having had some discussions at their school about it all, and I happily signed up to take them, so we'd all set our alarms for 5:30 ... their's was maybe just a little off.

A quick hot-chocolate, I reheated some moka from last night, got into the long-johns and sweaters and coats and hats and mittens and out we headed into that good night, by way of a Tim Hortons, out to The Meeting Place (aka The Propeller Club) the hub of the Groundhog Prediction Universe and home to a pretty generous breakfast of pancakes, sausages and lemonade.
