NOTES

Sean & Meg Emery announce the birth of a 7-pound, 8-ounce baby girl, Aerial Gayl Emery, on July 26 in Minneapolis. The pediatrician proclaimed that Aerial has "nice big hands," a fact that, according to dad, bodes well for her juggling future!

 

English juggler Adam Gardner got a nice writeup in the July 9 issue of The Independent on his new company, More , Balls Than Most Ltd. The group runs juggling workshops throughout England, targeting their services toward corporations with the message that juggling will help reduce employee stress levels.

 

Frank Miles was on Comic Strip Live in early June. He did machetes, then a bowling ball, ping pong ball and an audience volunteer's watch - over the volunteer, who was lying on the floor.
