Welcome to National Joy Germ Day!
On January 8, 1981, Joan E. White of Syracuse, New York, was reading the newspaper when she came across a story about a California couple who offered to worry for others in exchange for a fee. White believed this approach to facing the world's problems was flawed and decided to create an organization to counteract the worriers. She founded Joygerms Unlimited and designated January 8 as Joygerm Day, on what also happened to be her late mother Nora's birthday.
Shortly after forming Joygerms Unlimited, White began responding to requests from people asking to join the group; she allowed people to join free of charge, as long as they sent her a self-addressed, stamped envelope. Although Joygerms Day was unofficially first held on January 8, 1981, when the idea for it and Joygerms Unlimited came about, it didn't become a "national" day until 1985.

2019 Review: UVA TV Viewers (RX; HM)
2019 Review: UVA TV Viewers
More TV talk...
UVA logo
2019 was the year of the Cavaliers, in both men's basketball and in football - at least within the Coastal division. So, how did the Wahoos perform in terms of delivering TV viewers? We'll look at three areas: Conference Championship Games, Contract Bowls, and ACC regular season comparison of UVA vs. VT. For the first two, we'll attempt to get apples-to-apples by looking back 3 years, when the same bowls hosted the CFP semi-finals...
Conference Championships
In recent years the ACC has had good TV ratings, though never as good as the SEC in part because the ACC CG is always up against the Big Ten CG, while the SEC has had little or no competition. However, this year it wasn't even close...
2019 Conference Championship Games
SEC Championship (CBS) LSU/Georgia 13.70M
ACC Championship (ABC) Clemson/UVA 3.97M
2016 Conference Championship Games
SEC Championship (CBS) Alabama/Florida 11.09M
ACC Championship (ABC) Clemson/Va Tech 5.34M
It just so happens that 3 years ago the ACC CG matchup also featured a team from Virginia against Clemson - and the Hokies drew about 35% more viewers than the Wahoos.
