Introducing… My Newest Blog
My friend Harriett and I have decided to do the MS 150: Tour de Farms this June. It’s a two-day, 150-mile bike ride through the farmlands of Illinois. We’re not actually that crazy: it’s a ride, not a race, and we’re raising money for the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Illinois. It’ll be awhile before I start training for it, but I went ahead and got my fundraising page set up, and then decided to set up a blog so you can follow my progress as I complain about how sore my butt is from spending several hours at a time in the saddle. You can be assured that I’ll be asking you for a donation in another couple months; in the meantime, please add http://ridingforMS.wordpress.com to your RSS feeds so you’ll know when the fun begins!

current book: I got coffee ALL OVER the beautiful white cover of Annie Dillard’s The Maytrees. I was so mad at myself that I didn’t even open it. I’ll be starting The Amazing Adventure of Kavalier & Clay shortly. Thanks, jaq!
current music: A three-CD mix from Justin called Gay Skate Night. It is just as awesome as it sounds.
current socks: New stripey SmartWools from my mom.

That’s awesome! And will probably be a nice change of pace from running.
I love, love, love Kavalier and Clay…it has a permanent place on my top five books list. Hope you enjoy it!
I would like details on Gay Skate Night… your mix tape sounds interesting too.
That last post was me, not Lisa. Stupid shared computers.
