Ugh! I hate company events like that, especially when the company didn't really earn the back-pat. I hope it isn't as horrid as you're expecting.

Kingston isn't that hot right now. We've been having rain for the last couple of days so it's been rather cool for us, especially at night. Granted, I doubt it's as cool as you're used to but it definitely is making our summer more bearable.

I'm thinking about Smutty Claus again. Every year I say I'm not going to sign up for it because it's so stress-inducing for me and every year I do it anyway. Also, I haven't actually written anything since February.
