MTB on bike paths and roads - from home to Clinton SP and around the park a bit. Fun.

I got out a bit late after watching the WOC coverage (worked fine for me, no problems) and some of the TDF coverage.

Work commute. Met Mary downtown to exchange some docs that I need to FedEx to USAA for a used car loan. I'm buying Dad's old car - a 2011 Toyota Camry with ~46K miles on it and automatic transmission. It is a great old man's car.

Shuffled around on West Campus. Felt ok. Slow, but ok.

Shuffled around a little bit. My legs felt pretty good and I didn't think about my right ankle at all.

Drove to work to avoid huge rain/wind/thunderstorm in the morning.

And a bit of an update on the future of independent performance auditing in Lawrence. This is what I sent the members of the governing body today:


I have accepted another job and will end my employment with the City on or about July 14.

I hope that the City Commission will continue to discuss the independent performance audit function, strengthen the function and fill the City Auditor position. I believe that an audit committee would strengthen both the independence and performance of the audit function. An independent audit function supports the City Commission to provide oversight and strengthens the credibility of the entire organization.

I am proud of what performance auditing has achieved in Lawrence. I’m proud I can demonstrate measurable savings that have exceeded all the expenditures for performance auditing since 2008. I’m proud of two successful external quality controls reviews that demonstrate the quality of my internal quality control processes and my compliance with Government Auditing Standards. I’m proud that the Lawrence audit function received national recognition including a national award, positive press, requests to mentor other audit shops, and invitations to present at national conferences.

Got to work today with a plan. They're replacing windows in the building and mine would be replaced tomorrow, so I needed to do some organizing of stuff in my office to make room for the work.

But, it turns out they were making faster progress than I'd been told and when I arrived the workers had moved my stuff and starting removing the windows.

I turned around and biked home. I would work at home. When I got home, the temp was pretty comfortable, so I set up in the table in the back yard. It was perfect (though it got hot later)...except, with the new change in ownership of the local cable/internet provider, there was all sorts of trouble with my internet connection. It worked for a while, then would die. I'd turn the model off and then on and it would work again for a while.

By early afternoon, it was too hot to sit outside, but the internet was reliable. I had a hour+ conference call that went well.

So that was a long write up of a light day - work commute = 45 minutes.

Work commute with a temp in the 50s for the trip to work. It felt very nice.

Jogging on West Campus. My legs feel tired from the weekend. My right ankle feels a little sore, but the swelling has gone down quite a bit.

Up early to catch a flight home from Boise. Long-ish travel day, but no delays or problems, so that's good.

Went out on the bike path with Mary to get moving a bit and break a sweat. Fun.

Middle course. Fun but tiring. Tiring because of the altitude and the deadfall. I had a little swing at 3 when I got a little off line going to the circle. I was confused by the contours as I was near 6. I was moving slowly there.
