It's a bittersweet moment for me, but I've made a big decision and I want to tell you personally. After much contemplation and reflection with my wife and family, I have decided to retire at the end of December. This decision was not easy, and it's one that I've thought about for some time. But, I believe it's the right time for me to do this."

The good news is: I finally think I've got it down! "
