Name 5 websites you must read every morning before work
I have my routine:


  1. Ucomics for "For Better or for Worse", "Doonesbury" and classic "Bloom County"
  2. Seattle PI for "Funky Winkerbean", "Mutts" and "Jump Start" comics
  3. IMDB news section
  4. Delaware News Journal in this order - Opinion, Life, Dear Abby, News
  5. DU home page and then check My DU for any new replies and a quick glance at the lounge


What's your 5 websites for first thing in the morning?
