It’s about time!
First, I must disclose my personal biases.
I have been a (very) frequent flier for nearly 40 years. Long before the airlines had mileage programs (over the years, these loyalty programs have lost their luster, only benefiting the data collection for the airlines), I was a 100,000 mile flier on TWA and Continental. Back when they defined quality airline travel. To this day, I am an elite travel member of the two airlines we will be discussing today. But, that will not influence the facts or my discussion of same.

Back when I began drinking wine…
Oh, wait. That’s not quite true. I began drinking wine before I was 2. But the wine was Schapiro’s. (Believe it or not, it’s motto was wine you could “almost cut with a knife”.) But, that moniker that disappeared two decades ago. It was much better than what most Jewish folk drink now on Friday nights, Saturday nights, and other holidays. (Manishchewitz, of course.)

Tax Relief. If you live in New Jersey.
Yes, it’s tax season.
Which means many of you will be cursing under your breath again at the TCJA (Tax Cut and Jobs Act, sic- it was a tax cut for the rich with NO jobs whatsoever). Why? Because one of the hallmarks of this act was the virtual elimination of itemizing on one’s taxes. Sure, the architects of this cornucopia of blessing for big business and the 1%-ers claim that it makes your tax filing easier. (So does the very old joke as demonstrated by the IRS “form” below.)
