And what is a sleep train anyway? I don’t think of trains as a relaxing thing, I think of noisy clickety-clacking.

Dumbest name since “Airbus.”

I have a book recommendation, containing characters both delightful and invidious: Major Pettigrew's Last Stand, by Helen Simonson. The writing was outstanding and the characters well-developed.

The back story to Sleep Train and Rush is that they were failing when a little known radio talk show host needed a new bed. A mutual friend sent Rush over and he bought a bed, suggested they advertise on his show. They did and history was made.....they make billions every year now. From failing to success beyond their dreams, and this is how they treated Rush. They jump on a faux blitz of Rush and expect him to forgive and forget. They made personally insulting comments when the did this. The relationship is OVER, with Rush and his fans.

Thank you. Last night I scrolled up and down the choices on my NookTablet and found nothing new to read. I will check it out today.

BTW, last year I read a book that came highly recommended...A Discovery of Witches. Yes, witch and vampires. The sequel comes out this summer. Warner Bros. bought the movie rights. It was surprisingly well written. I actually loved the book. Bought it for my daughter for her birthday.

The sleeping cars can be fun. As long as you don't actually sleep. And this also assumes you're willing to go in drag...

Excellent, as always — I was going to post something similar using “fastidious” (i.e. “clean & articulate”) but defer to the Master...
