   1. You’re not in prison (think Oz…).
   2. Fox is running Joe Millionaire tonight (which makes my wife really really happy and is therefore a good thing).
   3. You have a job (I hope, if that’s what’s heartbreaking, then ignore this one).
   4. You’re tall and smart and funny and that’s a billion times better than being short, dumb and dull.
   5. Chachalaca is a damn funny word (stolen, but funny words are good things).
   6. And to make up for number 3… Ben & Jerry’s still makes Phish Food. Phish Food is a very very good thing.
   7. And if you don’t like Phish Food, there are still sunrises and sunsets and mini marshmallows.

   Five good things about…what? Do I get to choose? Fine, then.

   FIVE GOOD THINGS ABOUT JANUARY IN MINNESOTA

   1) Only five more months of winter!
   2) All the snowbirds are gone to Florida.
   3) Blanket of snow hides all the yardwork you didn’t do last summer.
   4) Howling winds, blowing snow, below-zero temperatures, and frozen roads make driving to work like a giant bumper-car pavilion.
   5) It’s not Iowa.

   6) The use of center tags in my last post broke the whole page formatting, but not the indomitable spirit of the people of Minnesota.
