I'm looking at taking the train home for Thanksgiving. Driving takes 9 hours, the train takes 12 and the cost is pretty equal. Recently, driving has caused me some pain in my right hip/lower back. Is there any reason why I shouldn't go ahead and reserve a seat on the train?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I would think that 12 hours riding would be more pleasant than 9 driving, so why not?
Dear msbelle: Don't start writing checks your ass can't cash.

Jesse, it's okay. I'll get over it.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Go train, choose train.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

No. Train travel is very relaxing when compared to driving. Plus the train would probably have a sightseeing car and booze you can buy. Oh, and food.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Bring your own food on the train--on heavy travel days they often run our of food.

Uh huh. Whatever.
Oh, here's a reason not to take the train -- make sure it's a reserved seat dealie, because I've stood in the aisle on Amtrack.

Silence means security silence means approval
Uribe was working tonight.
He was making up for last night's bad plays.
No NL team has beaten an AL team in the Series since Florida beat the Yankees in Game 6 of the 2003 Series.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
What about Michael Moore? I'd say he's mass market liberal.
Also? I am crazy because I am willing to host a family Thanksgiving meal. I am not, however, crazy enough to cook the turkey myself.
