For it is interim, shed thy coat of idleness

The air is crisp and refreshing as I amble about the grounds. I compare the exuberance of my dogs, energized by the season and the squirrels, to the teams of auditors traipsing about performing interim audit travails. I return to my study invigorated, to share some recent observations. Over the past few weeks I was able to visit with audit teams in two regions I am unacquainted with, southern Appalachia, and then in the Low Country of Carolina.

Details to be posted tonight – Something is alight in the kitchen. For I hear howls of chaos from the kitchen staff and smell something that will no longer be on the menu for midday.
