Why Me? Why Now?

On the eve of our exciting overnight train trip to Oregon on the Coast Starlight Express, the local paper has this headline on the front page: Waiting for a Train? Bring a Long Book: Coast Starlight is often 10 hours late.

Oh, Lordy, no. Not with three kids. The article details the decline of this once majestic train line, whose current on-time record is in the single digits. The southbound line seems to be more affected, so that’s a mercy. We’re only traveling northbound, returning home by plane.

Gulp.
