By Matt Jordan
(U-WIRE) ATHENS, Ohio—Man, Iwish I had another 57 days each year. Wouldn' t that be great? After all, 57 days is apretty long time. I don' t knowaboutyou, but I could sure do a lot ofthings with 57 extra days. I could, for instance: Get 456 more hours of sleep, read a dozen more books each year, take up a new hobby, spend time with my friends and family or do a whole bunch of other things. The problem, of course, is finding another 57 days. Sadly, I was not consulted when our calendarwas created. We're stuck withjust 365 days each year, even though 422 would obviously be better. And things are even more grimfor those of us headingoff to the real world—we '11 be at work for at least 250 of those days. It might never happen, but it's hard nottodreamaboutthose magical, mystical 57 extra days. Fortunately, I have a plan. I read somewhere that the average Ameri can watches three hours and 46 minutes of television everyday. Over the
course of one year, that adds up to (you guessed it) 57 days. t/lfflV www, qtoc'rtias. cotn/WestHoHywocx(/fark/H3i All we have to do is get rid of television entirely, and we'll have almost two extra months each year. Isn' t thatincredible? I realize, of course, that it may not be realistic to absolutely eliminate TV from our daily sched ules, but these numbers should nevertheless give us something to think about.
