As I told my wife the story, I began to hear that crying laugh. You know, the one where you think the person is going to need to excuse themselves to go to the bathroom? My wife then reminded me that she had noticed a Road Warrior call to entry on a flight we were on, and when she'd asked me about it, I had said, "I don't have time." So my wife decided to enter me into the Road Warrior contest herself.

I am sorry, American Airlines, that I lost confidence in you for about 12 hours. I will continue to entrust you with my information and business. As for my wife, thank you for always being there for me and taking care of the kitties while I'm away. Thank you for always believing that I am special. Please, AA, do not let my wife know that there were 1,200-plus other people mentioned in four-point type on pages 70 and 71.

Dear Todd: That was actually eight-point type. If it had been four-point type, it would have looked like this. Can you read it now? If it had been that small in the Road Warrior issue, you might not have spotted your name at all.
