The Burgundy year 2019 is moving rapidly towards its end after many memorable moments. To be honest, I hate mission statements and other statements of objectives, but in the end they can be a useful rounding out of the year.

New talents are, if not in abundance, at least in ample quantity. We are indeed lucky.
