What an awesome year 2013 was! I can safely say that this year was my most-traveled year of my life thanks to points, miles, and the many friends I’ve met around the world who also share the same hobby.

I’m Lazy and Hate Talking on the Phone – SPG Gets It
As much as I hate planning ahead, there are certain scenarios where I’d be crazy to not do so. One specific example is Oktoberfest in Germany.

Over the past few months alone, I have seen several examples (which are further explained below) … [Read More…]

For those in the financial services field, it’s already October – the 4th quarter, which leaves us with just three more months to reach all of those targets and goals. All I can think about at the moment is finalizing arrangements to attend those last few seminars and conventions (sadly this weekend’s Chicago Seminars are … [Read More…]
Dad Post: Boarding Group 5
Hello all – it has been a while since my last blog post. Angelina threatened to cut my pay (still zero) if I did not fulfill my quarterly blog post quota.
