[LM_NET] HIT: Trip Proud and Grant's Tomb question

[Mary Ann Bell <drmaryannbell@GMAIL.COM>]

Yesterday I posted about the expression "trip proud" and whether others had
heard it. Here is what I said to summarize in my blog:
Someone contacted me about the expression "trip proud" and said that she had
heard "journey proud" instead. I did a search for this phrase and came up
with all kinds of information including four books by that title! I also
found links saying that it is indeed old-fashioned, and "very Southern." One
of the books I think I want: Journey Proud: Recollections of a Fifties Woman,
which is about politics as well as the time referenced. There was also a
link to a use by a Houston Chronicle columnist:

The thing that seems amazing to me about THAT is that Leon Hale, who I
mentioned in the previous entry, is also a columnist for the Chronicle. He
was the one saying "trip proud." AND I came across this very humorous
definition from Urban Dictionary that is not entirely what I had in mind
but...well, here it is and euuu:
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=journey+proud
What a fun diversion when I should be packing for my trip! I may be trip
proud, and I am, but I am simultaneously in denial.

And now my question...Is it worth going up to Grant's Tomb? Are there pretty
views of the river and is it a nice walk-around? We are staying in a dorm at
Columbia U. and I think it is pretty close. But there are lots of other
things we could do instead, including St. John the Divine Cathedral which I
WILL NOT miss. TIA and enjoy summer folks, we say down in Texas, I am fixin'
to go do some more packing, because I reckon it is about time.--mabell
