It seems that the generosity of my readers continues…. Reader David H. (who also happens to be my best friend) read about my anonymous reader who pledged his United beverage vouchers, and decided to offer up 10 United Airlines beverage vouchers for me to…
Apologies for the lack of posts over the past few days. I had minor surgery on my elbow Wednesday, so I’m typing one-handed with my left hand (and I’m a righty). Someone with more free time might have gotten a bunch of posts written…
The American Airlines shopping mall continues the trend of smaller back-to-school bonuses with a 1,000 mile bonus for $200 in purchases in the next week. The timing is a very narrow window. You only have until August 25th to spend $200. But, it’s really…

A million miles is a lot. And yet, I know plenty of folks who surpassed a million quite some time ago. And, it’s not the 10 million Up In The Air Ryan Bingham fictitiously amassed. But, it’s my first million. They always say the…
I finished up my review of the Briggs & Riley BRX Explore International Expandable Wide-body Upright just yesterday, but missed a very important piece of information. As pointed out by JohnSD and gobluetwo, the question was whether this suitcase would fit in one of…
Sports Illustrated dedicates a part of each issue to what they call “Breakout Perfomers”, athletes and sports personalities that were “Hot” or “Not” in the preceding week. This week, they cited an NBA point guard named Jeremy Lin and his impending move to the…
