What's New for the Week of June 19, 2006

Here's our host news this week:

Jerry is recovering from a traumatic trip back from NYC, where he presented writing clinics at the ICCA annual meeting and at the New York Writers' Circle. Aside from the two-day flight back, the trip was highly successful, with visits to all grandchilden, great nieces and nephews, and highly favorable reception of Weinberg on Writing: The Fieldstone Method.

Esther is doing the final review of her new book Agile Retrospectives: Making Good Teams Great (co-authored with Diana Larsen) before the book goes off to the printer.

Don finishes his trip on Monday, and heads home to hot and humid North Carolina (as opposed to the "dry heat" of Southern California).

Steve is vacationing with his family in New York City.

Dave is working with a client on testability issues, and is pondering what fiction to add to the summer reading list.

Johanna just returned from a successful trip to London, where she managed to contract "airplane-itis" (the head cold you get from an airplane). She spent an entire weekend without email visiting cousins (and is paying for it today). This week she brings Daughter #1 to university for early orientation. And, the big news: she signed a contract with Pragmatic Bookshelf for her project management book.
