From the August issue: 4:45 a.m. I get up at 4:45 at my house in Bedford, N.Y., and take my two dogs for a walk before I do anything else. We have an English Springer Spaniel named Macallan, like the Scotch, and a Pomeranian-Chihuahua mix — a rescue — called Scarlet. My wife, Lisa, refers to her as a “Chi-Pom.”
5:15 a.m. I work out in the basement. It’s not a gym; it’s a concrete slab at grade, and I have an old bike and elliptical machine, and a little TV. [more]
