<p>My friend Michael got me into bowling a while back. I wasn't particularly good at it, but something about the sport stuck. The geometry, the scoring, the inexplicable satisfaction of watching pins scatter. Recently, he gifted me a bowling ball. A proper one. A Storm, red and pink, and it smells like Red Hot Cinnamon because apparently bowling balls have <em>odours</em> now. I did not know this was a thing. I still don't know why it's a thing. But it's mine and I love it.</p>
