When Pete Cronk is feeling “all business,” he checks in regularly at the American Marketing Association/Marketing News Magazine, B-to-B Magazine, and Revolution Magazine. Come fun time, and he'll more likely be found checking up on the sports teams of his alma mater (Syracuse University) and perusing the scores at CNN/Sports Illustrated.

When Patty Farro's not fielding on the softball diamond, she's a regular at the Women's Sports Foundation. She and her family have their own Christmas tree growing business, so it's no surprise they've been seen at the Christmas Tree Farmers Association of New York State. Lighter moments call for browsing at both Cookbooks Online and The Obscure Store & Reading Room.

Steve Johnson keeps up on serious news at The New York Times, and not-so-serious news at The Onion. A devoted Yankees fan, he's sometimes guilty of lurking at -- where else? -- the Yankees Official site. “I haven't happened upon any good trout sites, but, as the bio says, I'd rather be knee-deep in a trout stream...”

Paula Johnson keeps things interesting in the kitchen with help from The Food Network, but turns to About.com's Italian Cuisine page for the serious stuff. And for serious web surfing, Paula starts at either 37.com or Ask Jeeves.

Ask Jon Davis which sites he visits, and you're likely to learn more about race horse breeding than you bargained for. He recommends the Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation, Country Life Farm, Dogwood Stable, Inc., and -- for those nagging pedigree questions -- Del Mar Pedigree Query.

March finds Laurie Van Kuren (a former hoopster herself) tracking NCAA b-ball, while during the rest of the year she counts on ESPN for the scores. Faithful friends are always on hand at the American Kennel Club, and for human interest, Laurie keeps tabs on Court TV.

Rob Stiene regularly checks in at Salon Magazine. A hiker from "way back," he's been known to start on-line treks at the White Mountains Server. Rob is also a student of the American Civil War, and recommends The American Civil War Home Page and the Gettysburg Discussion Group as good places to poke around.

Account assistant Jamie Knudsen catches up on recent health articles at the official "Our Bodies, Ourselves" website, and seeks encouragement and inspiration from the talented writers/speakers of "Women of Faith." In her down time, you'll find her with an "InStyle" or "Self" magazine, flipping between HBO movies, TBS sitcoms, and good ol’ Rachel Ray on
the Food Network.
