Program in Writing Holiday Party 2016

Kevin's work had a holiday party and he took me and Miranda with him. James was at school at the time. The lunch party was at Pita House, a little Mediterranean-Turkish restaurant in East-Setauket. It was so delicious! It was my favorite SBU get-together so far, I think because sitting around a table made it so relaxed. The company was very fun, and of course, brilliant.
