+I am not quite burned out yet, and I have still some incomplete business
+which I would to finish off before I step down.

+sloppy. You can look for yourself what we have accomplished since I started
+steering the ship with my mates. Some pointers:

+You can see that we have become razor focused and able to deliver on most
