Hi Ty,
So there's no way that I can even get a start on that continuation proposal this month. And generally, I am so completely
overwhelmed and burned out that there's essentially nothing useful I can do for the commission right now.
I think this means that I should resign. So, with apologies, I'm doing so, effective immediately.
Very sorry. I just cannot meet all my commitments.
-Paul
