On the world cruise, our British staff would often say their lists were "ticked off" when finished. The Americans would look at each other -- 'Why are they angry??' But now that we've been able to 'tick some things off' our personal lists, it's very encouraging.
The flu has lifted. We've still got snow on the ground, but it's maneuverable. Now, to watch those lists continue to shrink...
Supposedly the 10 funniest Superbowl commercials. (Frankly, they're more stupid than anything.)
And the 10 best...especially the Boston Lager one.

California's Lake Oroville is no longer 'empty,' thanks to the all the rain they've been getting. Oops...didn't climate change people say that wouldn't be happening anymore??
'Bad advice' that's actually very funny. For example:
"If you are at an ATM at night and there is a person in front of you, kiss them on the neck to let them know you are not a threat."
