How long am I going to be on this train?

The day after Thanksgiving is known as "Black Friday". It is the time when the majority of America goes shopping and the shops go back in the "black". Needless to say I wasn't going to be that daft so I decided today would be a good day to stay off the road and take the train. Alexander and I went to San Francisco for the day to catch a movie- Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium (a children's movie, sadly for me, almost completely devoid of plot). For sure we could have seen it 1/2 a mile down the road from our house but I decided that the journey on the train would be a fun way to spend the day. Unfortunately we were late heading up to the city and the train we got stopped at every station on the line. Alexander was somewhat unamused, especially at actually having to walk a mile or so to the movie theatre from the railroad station. "Why do we always have to walk everywhere Daddy?" Still he perked up a bit when we got there and had candy and soda in the movie theatre.
