Trish OttoneThere is a reason that February is the shortest month of the year (in the northern parts of the world we like to think that this is because it makes the harsh weather pass by quickly). Not only does Valentines Day (a day of celebrating love) fall in this month, but so does Groundhog Day (a day of facing shadow.) I have always found this to be one of those cosmic ironies that are lost on many. T...
