While we were doing the Groundhog thing in Ohio, it apparently snowed in Pittsburgh.

What we found when we returned home Sunday afternoon. Yeah, there would be shoveling before I could go to work.

The cedar above the driveway clearly wasn't digging all the snow.

Neither did the cedars in the backyard, although we didn't notice until Monday night.

I stayed home on Monday, to accomplish one task: to make this...

... look like this. Just in time to do it all over again.

They played a loooong time. It was spectacular. I am tired now. See you tomorrow.

How much fun do we have on our Groundhog weekends?

I’m actually not permitted to say, but I thought I’d offer yinz guys this glimpse.

Remember meeting @drunkdude69 at Podcamp? He’s the one responsible for this gem, which is only the greatest song ever written about Punxsutawney:

Need a little — just a little — more backstory? You’ll find it here.

Because I’m not too bright, I failed to make the obvious connection between this week’s two social highlights until today.

Pic ruthlessly stolen from douglasderda.com (Thanks, Doogle).

On Tuesday, we had our first-ever Pho Down, which I hope becomes the inaugural event of the Great Pittsburgh Pho Tour.

On Sunday, Mrs. Crappy, Doctor Yohe and I are seeing moe. at the Carnegie Music Hall of Homestead.

The part I missed? I could have been babbling about  “moe.pho week” for days now — except I didn’t think of it until this morning.

Sigh.
