At least you actually used your Spirit miles. I didn’t use the miles when I had the BofA Spirit CC, so I couldn’t take advantage of the discounted awards and then after I closed the card, I redeemed for a few magazines and forgot to touch the miles after that and let 20k expire. F me!

Actually those 5,000 RT awards with cc can be an excellent deal. If I was single without a care in the world working remotely that is lol.

Well…it’s really 3 now, we are not that cool for son to join anymore…

Did my conferences, spent 2 weeks in Iran, 3 weeks in Asia (with son spending 2 months and wife/daughter 1 month). Squeezed in Fincon conference and Philadelphia weekend. And got friend to visit from Greece and son scammed some more miles from me. Every year is different, 2016 sure was.

Empty nester era is near, mother in Greece with issues, TBBing is a habit that is way too high on my priority list, business is blooming (thanks Trump—>joking, not really)…life is good.

In the meantime, Miles Per Day does an interview at MMS and the Bengazi dude thanks TPG for taking him to the Grammy’s. And here I am clearing 40 cents this week.Probably the one feature of blogging that just blows!

And now off to have some fun with wifey…

I would figure like most of us w 4 in the family he’d burn 2-3m a yr in pts and miles. A 7-8 day trip to Hawaii is gonna be close to a million. Europe 1-1.5m

In the Imaginary Saturday post.

Got to Starbucks at 5 am, thought about doing a short one, took a look at my Friday monetizing haul, saw another big fat zero and changed my mind…

Anyways, I am in tax mode now…

Focus, focus, focus!

Going to a Ford event later today celebrating the Chinese New Year with the Chinese ambassador and the Michigan Governor will be there…if I get to talk to him I’ll tell him two words: “Flint water”—–>Michigan joke

I should have a post tomorrow…maybe.

Enjoy the weekend everyone, get away from the computer!
