B’s Knees
I’ve gotten emails from some of you recently asking how my knees are doing. Although it mostly feels good to get these emails—it means that people actually do read my blog!—it’s kind of strange to get three emails in one week all saying, “How are your knees?” instead of just “How are you doing?”
My knees, I’m very happy to report, are doing pretty well. After several knee voodoo treatments and two weeks of physical therapy (with at least two more weeks to go), I’m as ready as I’m gonna be to run this half-marathon. My right knee still aches, especially after yesterday’s easy six-mile run, but nothing that should keep me from the Mini. They will also provide an excellent excuse for what will undoubtedly be a penguin-like speed. (Don’t worry, Jen, I’ll still be at your wedding at 2pm. I’m not that slow.)
Indianapolis, here I come…

current book: Nearly done with Slouching Towards Bethlehem.
current music: Inspired by N’s recent California-themed mix, I’m thinking I should make a mix for the three-hour road trip to Indy next week. Although I don’t think that indie rockers or country singers of yore have a lot of songs about running, I’m going to go through my iTunes and see what kind of upbeat, victorious, pump-you-up songs I can find. Leave your suggestions in comments. And assume that I will already be including Prince and Madonna as well as The Bottle Rockets’ “Indianapolis.”
current socks: Easter socks that I never got around to wearing during Easter season.

Suggestion for road trip mix:
The Go! Team, “Junior Kickstart” (it’s the perfect superheroes song)
Gwen Stephani, “What You Waiting For?”
I can send you both of the mp3s. And how are you liking Slouching Towards Bethlehem? I love Didion’s deceptively spare style.
emmit is very excited about his aunt laura coming next weekend, although i’ve had to explain to him – twice! – that there will be a lot of activity on saturday that has nothing to do with him.
the fact is, he doesn’t even know what “nothing to do with you” means since the universe exists completely for his amusement. with that said, emmit & i are hoping to be able to assist josh with the post-mini brunch to beat all brunches while maybe getting to come out to cheer you on.
ps – justin timberlake, like i love you & rock your body
I’m shocked that you are ready to run a race already! Congratulations. So disciplined.
I had the same question about Slouching Toward Bethlehem. Please, post.
Oh, and if that is Emmet in Ramblinjaq’s icon, he is so CUTE!
i’ve been a growingsense appreciator for awhile & it is clear to me why: not only is troy a good writer, but he also knows from cute babies!!
