Tuesday was Groundhog Day; every February 2, Punxsutawney Phil sticks his head up out his hiding place to proclaim whether winter is almost over or there will be another six weeks of it. Given that Pennsylvania, along with other locations, is digging out from a massive snowstorm, I wondered if Phil would even bother to poke his head out, but he did and there’s another six weeks of winter still to go.
The pandemic has lasted for almost a year and there is no quick end to the monotony. Many, if not all, of us are suffering from Groundhog Day syndrome, that every day is pretty much the same and looks to be that way for the foreseeable future; it doesn’t help that the whole vaccination procedure has been totally FUBAR.
