    I flew 47,000 miles in 2016. That's 3,000 away from United bullshit gold status.
    Yesterday I took a day off and flew to LA and back to get the miles to get the status. 11 hours in a plane. $300. It will be worth it next year.
    And since I've never seen Breaking Bad, I decided to get into it yesterday. Wow...good shit!
