Jims Fingerless Whistling Progress So Far
Let me bring you up to date on my fingerless whistling progress so far. It’s been about 3 weeks and I’m coming along. I notice whistling a little clearer and louder every few days. Sena doesn’t seem to mind my noise-making—so far. As always, I like to give credit where credit is due and give…

Svengoolie Show Wizard of Oz for Upcoming October BOO-Nanza
Did you look at the movie schedule for Svengoolie BOO-Nanza this October? The Wizard of Oz has several airings, so there’s almost no excuse for missing it—unless you’re a zombie! That means it’s time for Wizard of Oz jokes which I’m doing today in a modified version of Svengoolie’s Too Drawn-Out puzzle. Instead of guessing…

Reblogging “Maybe We Need a Dose of Humor”
I’m reblogging the post from this date in 2022, “Maybe We Need a Dose of Humor” because I want to present a TV show episode of Mountain Monsters, which parodied the hunt for Bigfoot. I mentioned Mountain Monsters as a perfect example of parody. You can’t miss the Sasquatch jokes in this episode and I…

House of Svengoolie Movie: “Night of the Living Dead” 1990
I saw the movie “Night of the Living Dead” last night on House of Svengoolie. This is a remake of the 1968 George A. Romero film, which I never saw. One thing I learned from the Sven Squad is that the word “zombie” was never used in the film to refer to the wandering ghouls…

Juggling for Fun
Although I struggle with some juggling tricks, I have a lot of fun too. And some tricks are a hoot because, when you’re a beginner, you never know exactly when you’re going to nail them—like the neck catch. My shower still has a straight across throw that sneaks up a little, but—whatever.

Our Vaccines for 2026
We got our vaccines for 2026. Sena got the flu and Covid shots. And after about a year of her educating me about the shingles vaccine, I got that yesterday as well as my own Covid and flu shots. The shingles vaccine is a 2-shot series: an initial dose and a second one 2-6 months…

Juggle Trick Medleys!
And now for the first time, juggle trick medleys! I grouped some easy juggle tricks in rough categories for this little video. I also included a neck catch comedy clip. I can do that trick—after 15 or so tries. This was fun and a little more difficult than I thought it would be. On the…

Reblogging “Look on the Bright Side”
This seems like a good time to again point out that this is the day after the first day of autumn. Funny, that’s exactly what I said about the original post in 2022. My forgetfulness about announcing the first day of autumn on the actual first day of autumn is chronic and stable. Fortunately, I…
