The Joys of Missionary Life

... or not.

I saw a friend today who is leaving tomorrow for a month on a company business trip. "I'll be living like a monk in a tiny hotel room," he told me. What I wanted to say to him, but didn't, was "Well, you could have used your frequent flyer miles to take your wife with you. She'd like to go, you know." The reason I didn't speak is because I knew he had, of his own free will, used his frequent flyer miles to book this trip, saving the company a chunk of money. Nice for the company, but not so nice for his wife.
