Happy New Year's, King Alfred!

So it's not really New Year's Day unless your'e counting from last Oct. 25, which is perfectly fine if you ask me. Today is a New Year's Day for me because I have made a resolution. Recalling the orderly and disciplined life of King Alfred the Great, who began translating the Bible in the seventh century, I have been inspired to divide my day into three portions of 8 hours each. One portion will be for sleep. One will be for cleaning the house, taking care of the dog, working out, reading, praying, and generally being productive and maximizing that time. The final portion of the day will consist of recreation and rest, relaxing with friends and family.
