I am certainly a giant appreciating fan of the whole groundhog thing.  That’s right.  I love ‘em. (Check out my myspace (which I havent changed in about 2 months) www.myspace.com/rengawman)  I think they are the coolest of the rodent family.  I mean, I met this one groundhog in New Jersey named Harvey.  Cool guy- slicked back hair, smoked Pall Malls, and had a Harley.  Or maybe it was just a guy from New Jersey.  Sometimes they look like rodents.  Especially when they grease their hair back.

Not to mention one of my favorite movies, Groundhog Day, and Caddy Shack… don’t forget about that.

FURTHER, what other mammal gets HIS OWN DAY?!!  February 2nd is of course, groundhog day.  To celebrate I will actually dress in a giant groundhog costume, and hide around the corner, scaring whosoever may pass by.  Then I act like I am scared by my own shadow and scurry behind the building again.

Only 4 people have died from these frivolities.  (Who knew the human heart was so fagile?)  Not even the monkey, with his funny name and opposible thumbs gets his own day! (Although admittedly, gorilla suit day is January 26th.  Google it.) (I will say though that we are honoring a suit moreso than the animal.)

OK I get passionate.  I am a passionate man in the things I believe in.

And me, I believe in groundhogs.

I was so touched by the popcorn festival here in Marion, Ohio, that I made a little tribute video.

Get the kleenex’s ready!

May the 3 days of the Festival, condensed into this two minute video, touch your hearts, as the festival touched me. There is a picture of ACTUAL popcorn, somewhere in the video…

This weekend marked the 1 billionth popcorn festival in Marion history.  Even before the earth cooled, there was popcorn.

Here are some images from the parade… you will notice a conspicuous lack of popcorn…

There were many exciting floats, but mostly I just shot pictures of my own head… that is what people REALLY lined the streets of Marion to see… I am sure of it.

I did get to be in a parade though…

Enjoy!

These are just highlights from the parade….

Hi there everyone, and welcome back to my blog!

My intention this time around with the blog is to frequently post, but have shorter posts, so it may be anything from a link that I find interesting, to a youtube video, to my own personal thoughts for the day.

I am certainly excited to again be posting for this creative outlet, and I hope that you find this helpful.

As for today, I was thinking that I would start out by sharing some of my thoughts on the great state of Arizona.  I was able to go last week and give a leadership conference and retreat to the leaders of the parish of St. Helen of the cross in Eloy, Arizona.

I don’t want to speak so much of the parish or the conference on this post, but I would like to say that Arizona boasts a beautiful landscape- the likes of which I have never seen before.  One of the parishoners, Eloysa Perales, took these stunning pictures of the landscape.

Check back later for more posts!
