We went bowling today for the first time. They made me play with a handicap (using the smallest bowling ball) after my two strikes.

I don’t tend to take care of my shoes very often. The whole process takes me back when I was a kid and my dad would clean all his shoes on a Sunday. I loved the buffing process. Still do. The transformation is always like a magic trick.

First time I see the two new lines on the subway map. Of course, I spent a decent amount of my life working on line 6 these last few years.

📚 Finished reading: 7 Rules of Power by Jeffrey Pfeffer. A timely book to be reading at the moment. Some concepts you can see in practice around you, but as always it is in how you put these rules into practice.

📚 Finished reading: Daytripper by Gabriel Ba and Fábio Moon. I couldn’t put this down. Released 15 years ago, it’s an Eisner winner and I’ve never read it. One of the very best comic I’ve read this year and I have read some seriously outstanding books.

📚 Finished reading: Starve Vol. 2 by Brian Wood. A solid ending. The characters really grew on me. The premise was really fun. The artwork was excellent in that grimy Vertigo comics way.
