Ten Creative Writing Prompts in Ten Days
Nine days until NaNo!
Punxsutawny Phil
Punxsutawny, PA
Punxsutawny Phil, born in Punxsutawny, Pennsylvania, died on February 2, 2012. He was 12 years old and died doing what he loved: predicting if there will be six more weeks of winter or six more weeks until spring.
He leaves behind a wife, Philippa, and 2 children, Philipina (age 2) and Philip Jr. (age 3).
Punxsutawny Phil was most known for his celebrity on Groundhog's Day. He predicted correctly 38% of the time but people still came from miles and got up before the sun rose to watch Phil make his year prediction. He was also featured in a movie, he has Beanie Baby named after him, and was a guest on the Oprah Winfrey Show.
He will be missed by many until next year when he is replaced with another groundhog.
