Abstract
People are always surprised when I mention my favorite holiday. There’s no party in Times Square. No fireworks or barbeques. It doesn’t come with presents. It’s the sort of day you forget about until someone reminds you, and then you forget about it again. But, for me, it’s my benchmark holiday, my day of reckoning. Groundhog Day is the day I take stock of my life.
