Welcome

Friends,

First, happy Sunday!

Second, I want to send a friendly ‘thank you’ again for subscribing. If you are reading this but have not yet subscribed, you can do so by clicking here. It really helps the publication!

Writing at this frequency has been a learning experience for me, and I am excited for what is ahead. Thank you for your grace in the process—I am working to keep it consistent and valuable for readers.

I believe it can become much more-so (with regular send-times and fewer typos). Time will tell!

This older American Airlines spot inspired today’s title—and for whatever you make of the flip phones and overall feel, I really like what it conveys. I have also found its message to be true in my life.

I hope you like it, too.

Thank you for reading, and for flying with me here.

Be well,

Tommy

P.S. I am going to write soon about the real ROI of having a solid points strategy (or at least the success I’ve had). More to come!
