All I care about soccer in Europe right now is when my Larissa hometown team AEL will come back to the First Division and be freed from its latest owner, the #1 criminal attorney in Greece who makes Trump look sane!

15 years ago today we won the third Greek trophy in our history. I watched the game in a tiny restaurant in Chicago’s Greektown. Me and another guy who recently arrived in the US who started working as a waiter in that restaurant from my neighborhood who knew my late dear cousin…I am typing this right now and kind of shaking…Anyway, we won against one of the big teams from Athens. The whole town made it to the game and right now the team can not get more than 50 fans into a game because the owner is so universally hated by everyone. If Elon Musk could help out lol

I was going to sell my blog for billions to buy the team but I don’t think that plan is working out LOL

I did not think Real Madrid would go this far this year, especially after the loss against Sheriff. At least we don’t have 2 English teams in the final. When will we see a good team from Italy again?

That was really something.

For the record, I can not stand both teams. But for MC to dominate the game and…then find a way to lose this was stunning.

My daughter is in Madrid right now and watched the OT on TV with so many locals watching it.

You could see something just switch after that tying goal. And the 2nd goal was amazing.

I wanted Villlareal, I am sick of seeing all the same old rich clubs win these trophies with multi millionnaire players

Lol

Question: I have been calling Greece using Skype to Go my wife set up for me for years. I call a local number and it rings over there and $10 I can talk for hours. Landline phone! But phucking Microsoft is ending Skype to Go. What should I use to call an overseas landline phone with the same arrangement, not having to type the LONG actual number?

Daughter started her Europe trip and is raving about the Charlotte Centurion lounge he and her friend are now at. Her friend thinks she is a genius. No, I am lol.

I am now a Costco Executive member. My air conditioner vendor has a special arrangement with them and I am getting rebates up the wazoo to soften the blow. Plus one more free Hyatt night and almost another 8 elite night credits. Still, no way to hit straight up Globalist this year.

I instructed my wife to look at price tickets to Hawaii in June and they are CRAZY high, wow!

First watermelon of the season was pure perfection.

I have 16 items in the queue for next Buzz post and only one is miles and points related. Is it just me that this space is, well, zzzzzzz?

I like the quiet here. I may even say yes to a new client (relative of a current client) who has rejected every colleague I recommended. It is good to be wanted I guess and now with less time spent here I could do that.

Anyway, the stock market correction is on! I feel for all the Robinhood traders out there who could not miss last year! This is dangerous stuff. Maybe Nick PFD was right and he can time it again to…get back in? Some of us will wait it out while opportunistically rebalancing and…moving on to work on things we can actually control 🙂

Have a great week (except to the ridiculous dude who keeps posting here comments I delete that nobody reads lol).

I am in peace with myself going to one Friday post per week. Just one cc sold in April is, well, demoralizing to my sensitive psyche and ego. Not having to think about doing a post over the weekend helps my stress levels you guys.

In the meantime, self proclaimed travel thought leader View From The Wing that so many other bloggers aspire to imitate and link to posts:

Southwest Won’t Let Young Girl Fly, Yells ‘Your Boobs Are Hanging Out’

First day running after the marathon and it feels great!

I guess lots of morons click on this shit because he checks his stats constantly I am told and, of course, he goes for the clicks and ad $$$.

It’s getting rough out there in the markets…But if you have a plan and plenty of cash set aside and time on your side…this should be welcome.

Enjoy the weekend, I may pop in here once in a while every day to say hi…
