The Pope and groundhogs

A beautiful relaxing day in the company of family and friends. A day of connections. I hope you are feeling connected too.

On a heavy note, the Pope is in the hospital. I have a deep affection for the pope as the leader of my childhood faith and because he looks disturbingly like my own grandfather. May God bless them both.

On a much, much lighter note, Happy Groundhog Day! What a strange holiday this is. It is only celebrated by small towns and schoolchildren but it will be reported on all nightly newscasts. And by a wonderful movie starring Bill Murray - Groundhog Day. Come on, Spring!
