the prognosticator of all prognosticators
in honor of a very special mr. dirty dave lipson, i dedicate this blog entry to all celebrations of groundhog's day across the nation.
dirty dave was the leader of groundhog's day festivities at the college of william and mary. he roused us at 6am, fed us ginger snaps and ginger ale (the cheap food dog brand as we awaited punxatauwney phil's presence, and the good stuff, canada dry, once phil came into view), and read the proclamation of groundhog's day, declaring phil as the prognosticator of all prognosticators. dave even sculpted an amazing 3-D phil out of duct tape. with dirty dave around, groundhog's day was a bitchin' time.
hope all of you have a dirty dave to celebrate this glorious day with. i, on the otherhand, will be celebrating with my mother who turns ## today. (you're never supposed to reveal a woman's age, right?) happy birthday mommy!!!
