Pineapple on Pizza Not a Problem
Today was the day for pineapple on pizza. It’s Freschetta and it was Sena’s idea. I want to make that perfectly clear. She said if George Dawson can put figs on pizza, I can at least try pizza desecrated by pineapple. This is the first time we’ve ever had a pineapple pizza. Sena decorated it…

Gardening Works as Mindfulness Meditation
When I think of Sena learning to juggle and find her juggling balls on the floor where she drops them after a 2- or 3-minute practice, I now think of her gardening. I wondered if gardening could be a form of meditation and did a web search like I did yesterday for juggling. It turns…

I’m using JuggleMan’s advice about trying to get some extra space in between the balls so I feel less rushed. I’m also trying to use Taylor Glenn’s method of combining…

Where is Juggling and Foosball on the Homunculus?
I saw an interesting article published in Nature about the homunculus being outdated because of a new brain MRI study indicating that there’s a mind-body connection between the motor cortex and neural networks controlling planning and thought. There’s a mouthful for you. It makes me wonder about a few things. For example, can I improve…

Practicing the Shower Juggle Inches Along
I’ve been practicing the shower juggling pattern and progress has been slow. Part of the problem is that it’s a difficult pattern and very fast. I have trouble getting elements of it solid. For example, I tend to make the horizontal transfer from my non-dominant hand more of a toss-up. That makes it look more…
