Good afternoon, and happy Sunday, all.

As I have updated the Writers Wanted post recently, I have two new writers to announce today. Please welcome Tim Wood (of the Uncle Puckers) and Matt Pavlichko, also known as ChucktheDuck, who has previously written articles for Guitar World. Tim and Matt will be helping with both weekly articles and game duties in previews and recaps, and I am very excited to see their contributions to the blog. Give them a warm welcome!

For those who are still interested in writing positions, we are still taking applications. They are a bit on hold because of the SBNation transition, which will go into effect on Tuesday. After that is settled, I will begin reading and responding to applications again. And if I already responded to you, know that you are still being considered for roles, as long as your interest has not changed. Also on the note of our publishing platform changes, our last article before the change will publish tomorrow morning. Beyond 4 PM on August, we will not be able to post on the site until the new system is fully in place in the morning of August 5. So, if there is New Jersey Devils news in that time, our post may be somewhat delayed.

With that aside, I want to give everyone another chance to share how their summers are going.

Personally, I am happy with New Jersey’s weather recently shifting to a normal and cool August after the almost-deathly heat of late July. It still feels very far from hockey season, though, despite the fact we are only a month and a half away from preseason games. Now is the perfect time to be outdoors, whether you like hiking, being on the water, or playing summer sports. Hopefully nobody is spending too much time indoors.

If you have anything to share, please comment below!
