Skill of the Week 6/19

Update:

Last week (6/12): Teaching self to make steamed milk at the work espresso maker.

Status: Have learned to heat the top of the milk to make more froth. Still not an expert, but make satisfactory Cafe Au Lait - 1/2 coffee and 1/2 steamed milk.

This week (6/19): Teaching self the one-handed backhand.

Status: Been working on it a little bit for awhile now, but think I made a conceptual break through on how to grip the racket differently from a forehand. Makes the shot a bit more difficult b/c it requires changing grip during play, but with the grip, the shot is a lot more effective and easy.

Potential Future Skills:

1. Top spin second serve.
2. How to fry chicken.
3. Develop a mini-work out to be performed during work
4. Create a small, playable board game.
5. Learn how to write an inquiry letter for a magazine article.
