Packed with humor and heart, JumpStart is a modern comic strip with a classic feel. At the core of the JumpStart family is Joe Cobb, a big-city cop, and his wife, Marcy, a nurse in a bustling Philadelphia hospital. Their jobs are easy compared to the challenge of raising four kids. At the end of the day, Joe and Marcy want what we all want: a good night's sleep. Their oldest, Sunny, is an avid reader who can answer your questions before you have time to do a Google search. Her brother, Jojo (aka Joseph Cobb, Jr.), has aspirations of being president. In fact, he already is president — of his second-grade class. Joe and Marcy's newest surprise additions are the twins, Tommi and Teddy. This talkative pair began conversing in the womb and are still going strong. Imagine what they'll say when they actually learn to speak! Rounding out the cast is Crunchy, a grouchy but warm-hearted police officer who is Joe's partner, and a host of extended family members and friends. You'll enjoy the wit and wisdom of this colorful, unpredictable cast, which includes the antics of in-laws, co-workers, a 6-year-old doctor, and a texting dog named Snoog-A-Boo.

My sister and I jumped on our pogo stick until we wore a split in the metal. Hmmm. I wonder if you can get them for little old ladies?

When I was trying to run a one-room, suburban recreation center for 45,000, we had a gap in the schedule just before school let out and it was free play to unwind. I would practice unicycle riding in that period. A postman friend dropped by after shift. Two men in early 20s came in and remarked about the unicycle. I gave a brief rundown of how to and rode around the room. The postie did a more elaborate demo. One asked to try it – and did everything short of summersaults on it. He handed it to his friend and said, “Try it, it’s easy.”
