I have hired my daughter as Social Media Manager. Hey, it looks good on the resume 🙂 She set up a TBB Instagram account that she will be running mostly with my help. In addition, I plan to post some pics on there from trips as they happen as I am finding it awfully difficult to continue doing my trip reports. I think she can learn some things doing this as she is interested in Business and marketing, unlike her techie brother. So, follow along and you won’t believe what will happen there next! Also, for full disclosure, I am totally clueless about Instagram so any feedback is welcome!
Here they are: Compiled lists of all Marriott-Starwood Hotels rising in points Aug 2018.
When Chase finally announces some meaningful devaluations (the ones recently have been very mild), it will likely be because of news like this: Credit card super-users take a $330 million bite out of JP Morgan’s revenue.
They look nice: 13 beautiful lakeside hotels around the world.

Congrats to France for winning the 2018 World Cup. My call was tremendous 🙂 Croatia did not have any bounces go their way as they played a really good game and took it to the French. But France has some amazingly talented players who came through when it was needed. It was a truly wonderful World Cup. So sad we have to wait another four years. And the next one will be played in the winter in Qatar, which will be totally weird!
Another song from one of my fav bands from my youth!
RIP Mark E. Smith, thanks for the memories and the tunes. And doing it your own way, not conforming to anything. And thanks for the beer so many years ago back in the Bling Pig club in Ann Arbor. I took my girlfriend at the time to watch your show and when she did not dump me after it I knew she was the one lol.
After long delay I have received the extra set of Fairmont Platinum certs from AccorHotels LeClub. I think we are all set for our free two night stay at the Miramar in Santa Monica. Food is taken care of too 😉
And I leave you with this…My dog when someone clicks a credit card link first this month, lets do this lol.

Do you have posts of your Coffee on Instagram?
Not sure having my free extra large coffee from Speedway will attract much traffic this morning 🙂
So when does the new Social Media Manager pose with a credit card or two?
My wife won’t do it so…maybe I can trick my daughter into it! And then sit back and watch…all the conversions start rolling in. Yeah….right 🙂
Insta is great for posting trip pictures as you go. I do it with my Instagram. Or posting drunken Instagram Stories like OMAAT did that one time (for the Residence I think it was?).
I was telling my wife about some of the P&M blogger antics and showed her Delta/RenesPoints. She busted out laughing and said he looks like the Frisch’s Big Boy restaurant mascot! You know – she’s right he does!
There will be no drunken stories on IG for me 🙂 But I may post some along with a few videos from our Fairmont Miramar stay and Bay area trip next month.
I just went to Frisch’s Big Boy for the first time in my life a few weeks ago–hadn’t even heard of it before. My kids still speak fondly of it.
Top WC memory?
So many to count…
Off the top of my head before I drive the princess to her braces follow up appt:
The furious heroic effort by Iran to overcome Portugal and make it to the first round. And that final miskick in the last gasp of play…felt the whole nation on his foot, sad!
When South Korea scored against Germany and we all felt that there may be a chance the Germans will be going home!
The crazy celebrations when Panama scored against England. Lol!
The clown Neymar acting out like he was shot…numerous times!
Some amazing goals. Too many goals in injury time. Many freakish goals. VAR changing games. The great atmosphere in the Russian stadiums. I could go on and on and on…I miss it already 🙂
Since I’m not a soccer fan, I read WC as = water closet…and wondered why you were interested in George’s bathroom habits! lol Then the lightbulb went off.
No, I’m not right in the head…
