Few things in life give me as much joy as a comfy chair and a footstool to prop my legs up on. I think that’s probably true for 95% of the world’s population. That’s why I’m at this moment able to write a positive blog entry, because I’m currently nestled in a lovely smushy chair.

One of the benefits of my current job is flying frequently enough to gain a free membership to the Delta Sky Club. And let me tell you brother, it has been worth every hard earned frequent flyer mile! It’s full of fluffy chairs and ottomans, tasty appetizers and free booze. Yes, free. Yet another perk of diamond status. For as un-glamorous as business travel is (despite popular belief), this perk actually makes you feel somewhat like a rock star.
