My days, if they start in the morning with a cuddle from my son, are just so much more glorious than they were prior to that.

Every morning I wake at 6am or 6.30am, champing at the bit.

The quality of life is so much higher anyplace you can ski in the morning and surf in the evening - there's something to be said for that.

I had the perfect job for a gamer. From February to October, I'd get up at 7 in the morning with nothing to do but play games until I had to be at the park around 1 or 2 o'clock. When I got back after the game, I played until 3 or 4 in the morning.

I started running 3 miles every morning after throat surgery to remove a cyst last year. The gym used to be my adversary. But that has all changed. Now, I look forward to it every morning.
