‘It is a lovely day for February the 2nd, Auggie said. ‘A capitol day for Mr. Groundhog to give us his prognostication,’ Auggie continued. ‘I heard from Matilda that he is in high spirits and ready for this year’s verdict,’ Auggie exclaimed!

‘He is a seer of seers and the prognosticators of prognosticators,’ Abigail certified. ‘I heard from Seymore that Mr. GH was out late last night drinking Grog at his favorite pub,’ Abigaile told the assembled group. ‘The Old Gentleman said that he was getting too elderly for such an annual assignment and looking for a replacement,’ Abigail said with a wink.

‘So is the Old Gentleman in fine fettle or suffering from a hangover…it could affect the weather forecast,’ Bill Murray asked? ‘I have been working with him for one Continuous Day and he has trust issues,’ BM said with a dour look.

‘I have some problems with you people and you are not leaving until I tell you about them…six more weeks of winter for the lot of you,’ GH said with a wicked smile. ‘You have been going behind my back to a meteorologist for your weather,’ GH accused. ‘I give my forecast each Groundhog Day then you seek other sources to verify my pronouncement,’ GH looked on feelings hurting.

‘Theodore I will take the job of Groundhog Day and you can be my chief meteorologist,’ Bill Murray said. ‘On all my weather forecasts I will mention your profound wisdom…and our television station will sell stuffed Groundhogs for kids and kids at heart,’ Bill Murray continued. ‘You can live at my house instead of your Den…we will have Grog each night and laugh at our experiences in Weather Forecasting,’ BM said with a laugh.

‘Will you teach me to play piano like you,’ GH asked BM? ‘I love to dance…will anyone dance with me on my special day,’ GH asked longingly?
