Haircuts
This afternoon we took Emma for a haircut. She wanted it short just like her friends but when we reminded her she could have braids and her friends couldn't, she changed her mind. It was fun to watch her enjoy the whole experience.

This book is about the life of my mums brother, my uncle - Paul Hawkins. He was a Formula 1 and Sports Car champion in the '60's and was tragically killed in 1969 at Oulton Park in England. He was a pretty rough Aussie but a good man with an unbelievable story. My middle name (Paul) is after him.Bob Buford: Halftime: Changing Your Game Plan from Success to Significance
This was a real life changer for me. Bob talks about how to transition from the first half of our life where we seek success, to the second half where we seek significance.Alan Axelrod: Profiles in Audacity: Great Decisions and How They Were Made

This 1-page-at-a-time read will give you tips on everything from how to buy a good suit to how to pray (that's right, The Donald tells us to pray) for the best Personal Assistant (PA).Rudolph Giuliani: Leadership
This is by far my pick for the best book on how to practically lead a group or an organisation on a day-by-day and year-by-year basis.
