My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start. So far today, I have finished 2 bags of M&M's and a chocolate cake. I feel better already.

PLANTAGENET, Richard. Remember before God, Richard III, King of England, and those who fell at Bosworth Field, 22nd August 1485, having kept faith. Loyaulte me Lie.

The Richard III Society
(Obituary placed yearly in the following UK newspapers by the Richard III Society: the Daily Telegraph, Times, Guardian and Independent. Similar obituaries are placed yearly this day in American newspapers by the American branch of the Richard III Society, noteably the New York Times.)

More information on Bosworth Field here
(I've been to the site and it is impressive.)
