all over again

Posted byrike52Posted inUncategorizedTags:, , , , ,

The plot of the classic movie “Groundhog Day” is that Billy Murray’s character weatherman Phil Connors experiences Groundhog Day in Punxsutawny over and over again, getting things a little better each time. The music site Best Classic Bands (1) today circulated a story on the 2020 Super Bowl commercial Murray made for Jeep. I gave you a link to the extended version of that hilarious commercial in yesterday’s post (2). The BCB article goes into some detail how Murray, Jeep,and the producers worked to keep the commercial faithful to the original movie. As a bonus, they even provide a link for free streaming of the movie. So check it out (3). Just like Phil Connors in the movie, you can’t get too much Groundhog Day!

I retired from the Rheumatology division of Michigan Medicine end of June '19 after 36 years there. Upon hitting Ann Arbor for the second time (I went to school here) it took me almost 8 months to meet Kathy, 17 months to buy her a house (on Harbal, where we still live), and 37 months to marry her. Kids never came, but we've been blessed with a crowd of colleagues, friends, neighbors and family that continues to grow. Lots of them are going to show up in this log eventually. Stay tuned.
