Well, the cute, furry rodent saw his shadow: six more weeks of winter.
Take that, cold-weather haters. LOL.
By the way, to my former-bestie (a.k.a. ex-love-of-my-life), if you ever pass this way, happy birthday on this February 2nd. You are 54 years young. I hope things are going well for you. I miss you. It's been over 26 years since I have seen you and around 8 years since we last talked. So much has happened in my life that I would love to share. I am sure you have had a lot of good things happen in your life, too. On a poignant note, I am saddened that you lost your dad last June. I wanted to reach out to you, but I felt like it was for the best to leave you alone to mourn as you needed to do. Anyway, maybe one day we will be able to reconnect sans barriers or negative thoughts or dismissive intrusion. You will always be an important person to me. Many of my "firsts" were with you.
