Double tasking with Pilgrim's Progress? Why, I don't see any rules against that at all! I rather feel that I pushed Pilgrim's Progress to the limit, because I have never pushed myself harder, physically, but whatever.
Was I technically not moving? Well, I was sitting down, but there was a solid 24 hours of driving. So. I will let you, as the reader, decide. The only times I did stop, I immediately went for a bottle, rocked a baby, tore my automobile apart, etc.
Staying up for 24 hours is hard. It's damned hard. Especially at my age. God dammit, I just want a good night's sleep, is that too much to ask?
Apparently so.
But staying up for 24 hours, while 18 of those hours are spent driving?! That's tricky, sir, damned tricky, because of a little nuisance called 'highway hypnosis.'
Still, I was traveling cross country with an infant, and really the best way to handle that is by driving all in one go. Could I have stopped halfway along the trip? Sure.
But that would have just meant driving two 9-hour days instead of one 18-hour day.

You know I love you, but even in tasking I have ethics, and I don't vote double-tasks.
