That means winter is 2 &#8211; 3 days shorter than it would be if it had 31 days.<\/li>\n<li>It has great holidays &#8211; Groundhog Day, Lincoln and Washington\u2019s birthdays, and Valentine\u2019s Day.\u00a0 Now that I don\u2019t spend Valentine\u2019s Day with 20+ kids on sugar highs, I love Valentine\u2019s Day.<\/li>\n<li>The days get significantly longer this month. Even though it\u2019s only February 2, you can already see the difference. The road is as snowy as weather, but the sun was reflecting off the trees by our house when I walked before 8:00 this morning. Even two weeks ago , they didn\u2019t do that.<\/li>\n<li>The Superbowl hype ends. Last night it ended without our home state boy, Kurt Warner, leading his team to victory. But since the game had a nail-biter of an ending (and somebody kept Al Madden from overusing his marking pens, this Iowan isn\u2019t too disappointed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Now, if any of you know how to contact Kurt Warner or his wife, please let me know. I\u2019d love to have them endorse my book. It\u2019s a long shot, but they might just do it. After all, it\u2019s February, a month of hope.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In my estimation, the winter of 2009 is progressing at glacial speed.
