It was almost exactly like Oktoberfest …I think…maybe….

New guy said something like: “When I look at you I just think you’re British.”
ha!!! Nice compliment…

Off today in search of a suit for a wedding in London next month.

Can I complain about the cold while it’s still summer?

It’s rainy…it’s cold. I think the leaves have turned. I almost wore a coat today. It’s way chilly in the morning. I need to buy some gloves soon.

I’m almost done with the books I bought in Munich last June. I’m currently on a Nick Hornby book, and it’s the last…
Luckily I’ll be back in Munich in 8 days. I’m excited to hit the hugendubel and do a bit more shopping

My dad sent me this…I’ve never heard of her, but it’s not bad…

and I realize if you are in need of emotional weight just call EmmyLou Harris…

Today I was listening to a podcast interview with Willie Nelson (from 1996 I think)….anyways he had his guitar and was asked to sing a song that he really was proud of that wasn’t a hit…he played this and it made enough of an impression on me that I actually emailed myself to find out more about it…the version I heard with just him and the guitar was better than this…but WOW…what a gorgeous song with gorgeous lyrics…
Is that emmylou Harris sitting next to him?

So today is my first official one year anniversary of working in Italy…it now occurs to me that I’m now driving illegally…I blame america for this (for the lack of driving license reciprocation). I can drive here legally for one year (that makes no sense to me)…it was the same in Germany. 1 year legal then a criminal…as if after driving and observing drivers for a year I’m a worse driver than I was a year ago when I arrived…FALSE!

This now makes the second entry that I’ll have to run home and delete in case I ever need to plead ignorance

After a long absence I’ve started listening to Cat Power again of late…Not sure I’ve ever posted here…but enjoy

and I had to post the first two just to get to this one (so you have some context – you’re welcome)…this is an amazing cover. It is immediate top 5 greatest covers on my list.
