591 Photography Blog published seven of my "A Few Days One Summer" photos with a brief essay yesterday. Psyched. I am always happy whenever anyone is nice to me. 591 always makes me happy. Check it (and me) out!
I just spared you a long diatribe on "happy" with one stroke of the "delete" button. Now you are happier, too. Trust me.
Ground Hog Day. Something about it has given me the creeps since I was a child. A smiling man in a top hat holding a giant rodent in front of a crowd always seemed more than a little nightmarish. I like knowing that today is the midpoint between winter and spring. There is something in that. Perhaps a celebration of sorts is called for, but they need to stop with the other thing.
And since I'm at it, ventriloquists should stop it, too.
I'm very happy for you.
ReplyDelete:P
it was a great article! ventriloquists? where did that come from? Are there any ventriloquists left?
ReplyDeleteIt's been awhile since I've visited your blog. I see I need to come back more often.
ReplyDeleteIt is a happy time when one gets recognition and yours is deserved.
Thanks also for the link to 591. I had not seen that blog before.
Hey what is it this year. A lot of people seem to be against Ground Hog Day. A columnist in my local paper wrote and I'm paraphrasing - that they should do away with it, that it didn't fit with the times and was stupid. I read somewhere else some negative press about the little guy it the last few days.
The use of animals as weather predictors goes way back. A February winter ritual actually goes back to even ancient Europe when badgers and bears were used instead of whistle pigs. I suppose if you tossed in some alcohol and threw beads at drunk chixs showing their bare tits it would be more fun to pass the mid-winter doldrums.

L, You're messing with me. You will make me write that missive on "happiness" after all.
ReplyDeleteR, I think that the fellow holding P.Phil looks like a ventriloquist doing an act. That hadn't occurred to me before, but now it seems obvious.
D.L., Welcome back. Yes animals are good predictors of weather--in the wild. Free Phil!
