Several months ago, on kind of a whim, I entered Zoe into a sweepstakes that United was advertising on the front of their website for a million frequent flier miles. Since she was eligible and I hadn’t flown in the time window required by the rules, I thought, well “why not?” registered her for the drawing and then promptly forgot about it soon afterwards. Well the other day I got kind of a incredulous e-mail from her, because apparently, she was one of 25 selected winners! Thanks United! It’ll definitely make all the traveling she’s been doing a little bit easier :-)
Come to think about it, Zoe’s always been great at winning contests. Just last year, she won another contest in London, by entering a short poem for the Foyles bookstore, which was looking for a little poem to celebrate it’s 100 years in business or something. Foyles, by the way is a fun bookstore to check out – a great independent bookseller that also happens to be London’s largest. Pretty decent martial arts section too…
Wow, that is great news. Airfare has been increasing lately. Now you do not have to worry.
Its pleasing to read good news!!
