From Joan Watson: Sharing an update on my health 
As some of you have heard, I am having surgery this Friday and will be out of the office for about a month recuperating. The surgery is, in part, necessary, but a large part of it is elective, and so it has much more to do with the future I want rather than with simply reacting to disease.
Note: We will keep you informed about Joan's progress via the weekly Windows e-mail.
