Welcome to Thursday 13, the easy meme where you make a list of 13 things and post it on Thursdays.
Topic is your choice. If you want suggestions, see the idea list at the top of the blog. But really pretty much anything goes (though we do try to keep it on a PG level).

Instead, we're going straight to Mr. Linky!
