Mike Cassidy's interview with my wife Amy Berger was in Sunday's San Jose
Mercury News, front page of the living section.  He spelled the title of the
book, "The Twenty Year Itch: Confessions Of A Corporate Warrior" correctly,
which is always important, and had a nice photo of her (which is not on the
website) at

Congrats to your wife, John. How do you like living with a published author?
  

    
It's pretty cool, and I'm glowingly proud of her efforts as a published
author, a publisher, a bookd distributor, a press agent, a shipping
department, and the bookkeeper, all at once while doing her market research
business as well.
  

    
heh. Sounds like you're about to get roped in to picking up some of
those tasks yourself (if you haven't already). 

Here's wishing she does so well at it you can both retire, move to
Tahiti and live the life of Reilley!
  

    
That rope has already lassoed me once or twice...this week...
  

    
For those of you who get the Oakland Tribune, or the Argus, that's Amy
again smiling out at you from the 'Cue' section today, with another
article about the process of writing "The Twenty Year Itch" (the
article is titled "Something to giggle about in cubicleland"). Her
picture made it to the front page of the Argus as well!
  

    
congradulatiosn are in high order for Amy!
  

    
Cool!

I am thrilled with the reviews and reactions to the new Grateful Dead boxed
