I joined FT after I left a company where I been traveling a lot, and was in the process of spending all my miles. Got down to ~1,000 miles on one airline
Now I've come full circle. After a couple years slow years, I resumed traveling like crazy. Now, between the economy reducing my travel, and my desire to burn miles one step ahead of various devaluations, by next summer I will have spent everything, except for a <100K funeral/wedding emergency reserve.

I had no imagination. My id = first/middle initials + last name. Why obfuscate when I'm just dropping in on the AA forum and travel technology occasionally? I didn't figure I'd be posting about politics on Omni so much.

CMK10: Initials plus birth month. Also, when I joined my favorite aicraft was the DC-10. It made sense then times two.
