Groundhog Day

February 2, 2010 by Gail

go away!

This isn’t Punxsutawney Phil, but maybe a cousin? It’s a Pennsylvanian groundhog alright, but one living in Dunmore.

This is the second time in a few days where I’ve been meaning to take photos of my restaurant food but was so intent on devouring it that I forgot I had a camera with me. Consequently, no food photos but it was #412 (chicken with chilis and lemongrass) at Xe Lua, which you’ve seen many times before! It seems that I don’t bother with eating anything else there, but the truth is I don’t go as often as I used to and I haven’t been there in ages — tonight I had #412 in mind, AGAIN.

To add to the deja-vu I was with Sergio. I was able to dig up this photo from September 2008, which was pretty much the same scene, just different clothes. We both ordered #412, AGAIN. Punxsutawney Phil would be so proud!

In other news, it also happens to be my twin nieces SIXTH birthday today. Wow, from preemies in the NICU to first-graders kindergarteners, where does the time go??? (I aged them a bit by accident, they just turned six, so of course they don’t start first grade until September!)

Video for today: 4 minutes of scenes from the movie “Groundhog Day” with Bill Murray. Classic! I don’t know how many times I’ve seen this movie, but it makes me laugh every time. The whole film is available on YouTube, someone‘s uploaded the whole thing in 10 x 10-minute segments.
