"Bing again, first shot out of the cannon."

When we talk about Groundhog Day we are talking about rituals that we all do time and time again. Phil has the opportunity to change events day after day, but on the same day. Many of us do the same things from year to year. This got me thinking, my friend Cassi's birthday is on Groundhog day every year and every year she celebrates her birthday. Each year there maybe several things she changes in order to have the perfect celebration. Just like Phil, in the movie, we have the chance to change what we do accordingly. This can be seen in dating or marriage, people in relationships are constantly learning things about the other person. I'm sure Professor Sexson knows this after celebrating his wedding anniversary on Groundhog Day (how fitting) I have absolute confidence that Prof. Sexson has whittled his anniversary celebration down to perfection. Every year when Phil pokes his head out from his winter slumber, Prof. Sexson and Cassi are already scheming on their perfect celebrations.
