Yours Truly,




Dear Mr. Groundhog,


Thanks for telling us that we have another six weeks of winter. Once again you have let me down. I am not a fan of winter. Except when I am codling up in my bed with a good book and a cup of hot cocoa. But your fans in Punxstawney, PA love you. They obviously like the idea of you telling them that winter will extend itself for another six weeks. They must love the tortures of ‘ol man winter.


Now we definitely have six more weeks of winter. Here’s looking at you kid.


But are you sure? You know after coming out of a hole for what seems like an entirety, might it have dulled your eyesight? The sun can cause blindness if you look at it suddenly having been in the dark for so long.


This somber news couldn’t have come at a more exciting time for us football fans. Especially us ‘Steelers’ fans!

I don’t know if you realize it being that you are holed up in that hole but, they did make history last night. They are the only NFL team to have won six (YEAH 6 baby!!!) Super Bowls.


Their coach, Martin Tomlin, is the 2nd black coach to win the Super Bowl as well. That interception by Harrison followed by a 100 yard dash to make a touchdown will go down in NFL history books. They came back in the fourth quarter with a touchdown by Satanio Holmes in the last 35 seconds. What a game!!!


But all of these details don’t really mean anything to you do they? Just out of a courtesy to those of us who can’t stand winter, could you perhaps put a blindfold on when you go to see your shadow next Ground hog day?


Yours truly,

*BIBI*


PS. I don’t hate you, I just like spring to come as soon as possible.
