It is a great Tuesday, and a Council meeting day to boot. One of the privileges of being the CAO is I get to tackle some of the toughest issues in Council meeting. So I got to spend a high-quality half hour with the Council and on YouTube talking about recent utility billing challenges. Probably not my best moment with a City Council in my career, but we keep moving forward, right?

It was a sweet moment to enjoy with my family members.

FUN STUFF
I really like the Piano Guys, but I am not a big fan of bagpipe music. But Scotland has always intrigued me, so I can excuse a bit of bagpipe in favor of the other benefits of this incredible video. Enjoy!
Thanks to everyone for all you do! You make my life better every day as a Provo resident and a fellow city team member.

Castle Eilean Donan on Loch Duich in route to the Isle of Skye. The music was pretty good too.
ReplyDeleteI loved this. Not a lover of bagpipes?? This was a perfect mix. Thank you for sharing this.
