it's my last day in SF for probably a long time. i wanted to visit a thrift store and get one piece of clothing — something i can wear as an outer layer, a casual jacket. i searched for thrift stores and found moody vintage to be a potential spot. from the hotel i walked along polk street, making a stop at Hoi An 1608 for pho. it was a darn good bowl. i ultimately did find a nice denim jacket by Carhartt. my last stop was russian hill book store, but just as i entered and started browsing i got pinged for work, and rushed back to the hotel to lock in.
i ordered echigo home cook curry to W's house, packed some stuff into the small luggage i bought, and then went to the airport. on the plane i read advice on upskilling by Justin Skycak. it was a good reminder about the importance of consistency, how to build skills, how to learn etc.

- ZGF, the firm behind the Portland Airport redesign, designed iconic projects like the seat of the U.S. State Department in Washington, D.C., the Randall Children’s Hospital in Portland, and even parts of the Stanford University Medical Center. they're known for sustainability and blending natural elements into their designs
- learning and upskilling is all about deliberate practice and practicing how retrieval, so information is consolidated in your long term memory and can be loaded into working core memory
