Tennis coaches use video to analyze shot form and technique. Last year, I decided to film myself hitting groundstrokes to see the strengths and weaknesses in my shot. Over 20 years of playing, I think I removed a lot of the unnecessary movement and bad habits I used to have. After seeing myself on film, I realized that my timing is my biggest problem, as I tend to hit the ball a little later than I should. When I hit the ball late, I am more prone to shanking shots off my frame and not using the full power of my swing. Hopefully this year, I can make this shot more of a weapon by working on my timing.

Among the Living
Santa Monica, CA - Bagel Friday--Today is the first day that I actually feel like I have recovered from the flu. I am just happy to be alive and feeling "human." Everyone who had the superflu warned of a three week recovery time, and sadly they were correct. Thanks to everyone for the well wishes, and a message to all: Don't get sick--it's not worth it.
