Wayside (Back in Time)




Here is possibly my favourite musician in the world covering a Gillian Welch tune, Wayside Back in Time. A few days ago I listended to this song on my ipod at work and I realised that there's a line in this song that comes from Shady Grove. The line in Shady Grove is "Peaches in the summer time, apples in the fall if I can't have the one I love, I won't have none at all". The line in Wayside is "Peaches in the summer time, apples in the fall, if I can't have you all the time I won't have none at all". Cute.

I'm starting to wonder if I'm going to become hard of hearing b/c I listen to my ipod so much. I can't help but listen to it at work b/c I am very bored there. My job is fine and I'm trying to have a good attitude there, but I am tired of it. I went up to Oxford today for an Investment Committe meeting at one of the colleges. They took our recommendations.

so long

I haven't posted to this blog in a long time! Ah, Jed and I are engaged!! I'm so thrilled and can't wait to be married to him. We're planning on getting married in his college's chapel in late December. We'll know in a bit if that's an option. If not we'll have to look for other places around Cambridge. My other big news is that I might have a job at the University. It's still too early to know for sure, but I should know by this Friday.

If you want to read our "engagement story" click on Jed's blog on the right. He's a really good writer.

We have had wonderful weather in England! The marathon was yesterday and the whole race was slower b/c of the heat. Jed and I have spent a lot of time outside. We went hunting for cycles on Saturday. We just went to a few places and priced them. We'll probably end up getting them at the neat store near the rail station.

I have no idea when I'll next be back in the States. Jed might go in Jan. 08 to a conference, but I probably would not go with him. It's bizarre not to know when I'll be back home, but I'm trying to think of England as home for now.
