Hi, thanks for checking from the Alps in Austria, wow! Cheaper to ski than Colorado, now that is something I did not know.

Happy New Year to you too. Well, not sure if I can last one more year but so far so good 🙂

See you tomorrow, long post. I need to do something about that…

Well, I hope you are not right about “rather take a beating now than later” 🙂

Our guys are resting their bones, well deserved. Good luck in LA!

I have not started putting together the Friday draft blog post yet, oh oh. I just finished all quarter/year end work in my day hob, huge relief, 2 days earlier than last year, hooray!

There is a Lions fan event today in Ann Arbor, they are giving away a playoff ticket, I may go.

Oh crap, need to get on a 4 hour 2024 tax season continuing ed class shortly, I almost forgot about it. And this is how we roll lol.

This was the third consecutive 2024 Best of Lists post on a Monday Carl, it should not be a surprise at this point 🙂 I think I have one more coming next Monday and that should wrap up this series.

Kind of lol on that one Sam, I thought this only happen in the US 🙂

Never stayed on that SF hotel. And probably not going to as I am kind of taking an extended leave of absence from IHG points. But a reader may have gotten the IHG Premier card with my links, which may be the 2nd cc sale this month which doubles the revenue haul from cc conversions…I feel the momentum changing you guys, I am sure they are having an urgent meeting at TPG HQs to control me lol.

Gained back the two email list subscribers I lost the previous week. At this pace, can’t wait for influencer promotion proposals to come my way woohoo.

Paid daughter $20 to take a video of the Denver Capital One lounge a few days ago, I will post it soon in my YouTube channel. And yes I am deducting it.

It was a great 4th quarter, thank God for the day job. Almost through the quarter/year end rush work….getting there…steadily and surely. I haven’t started the Friday draft post yet so we’ll see.

Go Lions, sorry David. I mean, that was one of those all time amazing performances by our defense playing second and third strings, just blown away. We may see each other in a few weeks though, tough to beat the same NFL team three times in the same year!

I used to use McDonalds bathrooms in Paris before they started locking the doors. I went in once and a homeless guy was living there.nHe has his clothes and other stuff in a small cart.

Hello from the Mark Hopkins in SF. It was a conference hotel for the meetings. Couldn’t resist! Too inexpensive to use IHG points.

The Top of the Mark is worth a trip itself.
