If nobody spoke unless he had something to say, the human race would very soon lose the use of speech.

Two trips to California down; one more to go! This week has been too busy for me to even feel jetlagged. The office is humming, I have been reading up a storm for future projects, and I am trying to schedule the events for my next trip.
As I wrote all day today, I was haunted by the shooting at the movie theater in Aurora. After attending San Diego Comic-Con, where the eager anticipation for the new Batman film was on everyone's minds and where I had been immersed in cosplay and comics chatter, hearing this news was shocking. My thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families. I, like all of you, wait for information to emerge on what caused the shooter to act in this way.
July 2012Welcome to July, which thus far this year has meant humidity and sticky heat here in New York. We just had a spectacular thunderstorm, but I am not sure if that cleared the air. We know that many of you have had a tough time with raging fires and floods --- and prayers have been with you. No matter what the weather, summer for me is always about devouring as many books as possible, often while floating in the pool. We hope that the suggestions in this newsletter give you some terrific choices to select from to do your own summer reading.
