The Twelve Root Resolutions:

  1. Eat Right and Exercise Better
  2. Use Less Power, Smarter
  3. Learn Canadian French - Living in the only bi-lingual province, it would be nice to know the other official language.
  4. Brush Up on My German
  5. Visit The Someone More
  6. Appear as Academic as I Am.
  7. Stick to a Budget
  8. Make a Name, Make it Relevant
