Week 661: Don't Call It A Comeback

Weekly Written Review 

After a 3 year hiatus, I renewed my YMCA membership. Just over 3 years ago, I also tried Pickleball for the first time, and I wasn't impressed. I retried Pickleball a little over 24hrs after returning to the Y, and I had a good time. Pickleball will not replace tennis. I learned it complements tennis. I'm also back at the Y for basketball. I'm a tri-factor now.

Week 660: Not Quiet on the Finishline

Weekly Written Review 

I thought I was done until I realized there was still an abundance of sound issues. I was going to let some of it slide, but after hearing more through a headset, I had to find a fix. The solution was Adobe Audition. I tinkered with it before but didn't properly incorporate it into my workflow. Ultimately this leads to a delayed finish, but I have no deadline. The extra polish is 100% worth it.
