Happy (?) Groundhog’s Day, the day Punxsutawney Phil climbs out of his burrow in Pennsylvania at 7:20 a.m. in front of a crowd of 40,000 visitors to predict whether winter will “end” early.

[...] Westminster, illustrator Paul Heath & I will be center court at the Palisades Center mall atop a Sleep Number Bed this Saturday, June 18, 1 – 4 pm, honoring canine search-and-rescue teams who worked at the 9/11 sites.
