Monday through Friday, I go to the gym at 5 a.m. I'm an early bird (ever since my kids were infants, that is), and I really find that working out first thing helps clear my head for the rest of the day. The other day, my coach was trying to show us proper technique to do a bear crawl, but he slipped and nearly face-planted.

After we announced the debut of a refreshed comics page, more than 200 of you called or wrote in, expressing your support for "Wallace The Brave."

This is what I love to see, readers engaged with our content and telling me how much this comic strip – set in Snug Harbor, a fictional Rhode Island town – means to them.

One of my earliest memories of newspapers was sneaking a peek at the comics section before my mom and dad had a chance to read the paper. I was probably about 10 years old when this started. I'd remove the rubber band and carefully check the index to find the correct page. My favorites were "The Family Circus" (they had a lot of kids, like my family, and the mom had short hair, like my mom) and "For Better or For Worse" (again, a big, kooky family with neighbors and friends who felt familiar).
