HE SAW HIS SHADOW
"Ground hog day." He saw
his shadow.
This is Orlo's 23rd birth-
day. I gave him a tie.
I went to church.
Henry arrived home at 2 PM.
We went to hospital to
see Jen, arrived there
at 3:30. Jen getting
along fine.
Kate + Bill here to-night.
Henry took his sister Jen to Blodgett Hospital on January 9. She was meant to stay "overnight" for a metabolism test. She has remained there for nearly a month, undergoing an operation and is now recovering.
On this day in 1941, Henry arrived home from NYC. He reluctantly made the trip knowing his sister was in the hospital. Jen's well being was obviously top of mind for Henry. He is at her bedside just 90 minutes after arriving home.
Groundhog Day has been a thing since 1887. In both 1941 and 2021, Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow, predicting six more weeks of winter weather. Historic data suggests that Phil's predictions haven't been incredibly inaccurate. I am good with that if it means less than six more weeks of winter. If it means more than six weeks, I think Phil should start looking for another job.
