Movie Music Monday – Groundhog Day

I'm sure that it is pure coincidence, but you know I had to take advantage of the fact that Movie Music Monday falls on Groundhog Day. I bet you I don't even have to tell you what song is featured today, because it has kind of become a Groundhog Day tradition.

My Favorite Norm MacDonald Joke

The late Norm MacDonald would have been 65 years old today. When he passed away in 2021, the world learned that he had been diagnosed with multiple myeloma back in 2013.
