Groundhog Day?
The Somerville Homeless Coalition contacted me asking if I'd planned anything for Groundhog Day this year. I haven't.
Who among my local friends still wants to see Groundhog Day on February 2nd? (Trying to gauge need to organize a Something).
If it's just me and my annual viewing, I can organize something else entirely, and on a different date:
This is relevant because:
(Yes, the Dismemberment Plan, who got their name from the film, *is* touring again, and have a show in Boston the previous weekend, which is entirely sold out. They did answer my email once, so I may try begging them for n guest tickets to donate entirely as SHC fundraisers. But, the middle step there is still "and a miracle occurs", so I need a Plan B.)

This is relevant because:
- This year is the 125th anniversary for Puxatawny Phil's celebration. I have yet to attend one.
- I also have a free place to stay in Florida that has a good view of the Feb 3 (3 am ish) space shuttle launch. Which means I'd need to be there by the evening of February 2nd (and then get to be livid if the flight gets rescheduled).
- Even if I stay home, mostly to (not bleed my savings for anything less than Hawaii and) deal with domestic issues, my place will probably not be presentable enough for a fund-raising gathering by 2/2.
