We're certainly talking to him. He's interested. The projects have some relationship, and the timing is probably such that you could easily develop both from a strategic standpoint.

Pretty much everybody who had been involved (in bidding to develop Lane Field) has requested discussions, and a couple of additional ones. We're working through their qualifications and which one would be the best fit for us and the project.

Jenny and I have been talking for years about what makes projects fail, and how to change the way we build software so that our projects succeed. When we were working together, we'd spend hours trying to figure out the root causes of our problems. And then, after we moved on to different organizations, we saw the same exact problems over and over again! We talked to a lot of people, and read a lot about project management techniques and practices. We expected to just fix our own problems, but discovered that everyone seems to suffer from the same ones. Something had to be done about this, and that was the inspiration for the book.

We started by talking about some of the local public-art projects that have taken place recently. Then we talked about the hand project, about the artist and his work.

We are particularly proud of Outlook, ... Many of our sections are dedicated to informing our citizens about city involvement, projects and programs (that) make them feel good about living in Lancaster.

I'm really looking forward to this season. We have a few exciting projects in the works.
