Sometimes You Need A Pick Me Up

It’s been one of those Tuesdays. I needed a pick me up. This Pepsi is my choice to help me out.

A Murdoch Mysteries Mini Marathon In Honor of Canada

We are having a three-episode binge of this iconic Canadian TV show, which features the United States in each episode. This seems appropriate in light of the tariff war with Canada and Mexico, which has been put on pause, thank goodness. This is one of our favorite series ever.

That’s Right, It’s Groundhog Day!

Today in Gobblers Knob of Punxsutawney, PA its resident weather prognosticator and most famous groundhog Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow and that means six more weeks of winter. Somehow that seems on brand with this year so far. So I guess we gotta keep bundled up and be ready for more cold weather ahead. Thanks a lot, Phil.

Later today, we will most certainly watch the classic movie Groundhog Day with Bill Murray and Andie MacDowell. It’s only right to do so.

February is Black History Month. It’s also strange that this important celebration falls on the shortest month of the year. People of African heritage have made significant contributions to the world, don’t forget that. Thank you to all whom we honor this month for making the world better for everyone. Some in power would want you to forget that bit of information.
