here is a pretty good joke from the January 22 show.

A Baptist preacher and a priest sat next to each other on a plane. When the flight attendant asked what they'd like to drink, the priest said he'd like a glass of wine. The preacher asked for a soft drink saying Christians should avoid alcohol. The priest said, "Jesus drank wine." The Baptist said, "I know and I would have thought a lot more of Him if he hadn't."

and Mrs Sundberg advises you

It's so cold outside, and there seems to be more snow than ever, and signs of spring are few and far between. It's easy to hole up and putter around; easier yet to do nothing, and nap away the day. Thing is, there's another side, always, with light and laughter and comfort. There's the coming home after a day of good work, the feeling of being in your own place, the sense of well-being, of what there is to look forward to. It's all there, just not right now, not for everyone. But it's there to think of, and there's what's next today, and a candle to light for someone you love, or for yourself, even.
