As I enter the second week, I have a had a significant amount of time that has not been spent on my project and I would like to discuss other areas of productivity and improvement. Of course, I am in the musical and that is coming along just fine and I am excited for all of you to see that this Friday and Saturday. My primary focus though, outside of that commitment and my project has been development of my guitar skill and ensemble. Through the past two weeks, I have made significant developments in my ability, practicing a daily average of about 2-3 hours daily. I usually spend a bit of that time studying music theory, but most of my time goes into developing my improvisation and knowledge of the scales. My picking speed has improved tremendously, as I am now able to pick quarter notes at 160 beats per minute comfortably, which for those of you with music knowledge, is 640 individual plucks of a string per minute. I am pretty proud of that and this speed and comfort has helped me improve my improvisation and understanding of the instrument. Although I have made large developments in the kitchen, I thought that it was important to acknowledge my interests outside of it.

Wow - you are a true Renaissance man - cooking, acting, guitar-playing, etc. There is nothing you can't do if you put your mind to it and put in the time. I appreciate your curiosity about life and your desire to constantly learn new things!
