Dear Board,
I've been very busy lately. I looked at my calendar on Monday evening and realized to my great surprise that my only two meetings next week were my regular check-in with Richard and the board meeting. With that, I made a snap decision to take care of myself, so we hastily booked some train tickets and I'll be heading to Uppsala to stay in a campground next to a waterpark and see some old friends.
Richard can fill in for any emergencies that arise, as usual.
Take care,
David
