Been playing with a double eastern forehand grip on both sides and just hitting really flat. Today I played the #1 ranked player from Frostburg State and lost 7-6, 4-6 and 10-12 in the ten point tiebreak. The biggest thing I could improve upon was short balls coming to my backhand. In the past handled those better by slicing them. But had been experimenting with an eastern forehand grip slice, decided I prefer continental grip slice. But it's really rusty now. So I was just hitting a two hand backhand and without topspin it's a harder shot on short low balls. But, that's a relatively easily improved thing. Net play also wasn't good. Missed a lot of put aways. But anyway, played a #1 ranked college player even so I guess that's good. 

Staying home from work today because it's like a blizzard out there. Everyone else is going to work though. I don't have four wheel drive. Others do or got a ride with someone who does. Or they have direct patient care. I don't. I really shouldn't feel like I have to risk my life. But worry what others will think. It's all quite stupid.
