    Does This Shirt Make Me Look Retired?

    Sena got me a new shirt that says: “Does This Shirt Make Me Look Retired?” It’s the greatest. No, she’s the greatest. So…does it? Think carefully about your answer.

  • Practicing the Shower Juggle Inches Along

    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…

  • Tom Turkey Flirts and Gets Rejected

    Tom Turkey Flirts and Gets Rejected

    Yesterday morning we saw a big wild tom turkey decked out in all his feathered glory strut his stuff in front of a likely hen. He was regal. He was graceful. He was proud. He was rejected. I read a little bit on the web about what happens when the tom scores. The tom and…

  • Tufted Titmouse Playing Peekaboo

    Tufted Titmouse Playing Peekaboo

    Once in a while when I’m filming wildlife, I get an odd feeling that the animal somehow knows it’s being watched. It looks up and seemingly right at the camera. I got that feeling while making a short video of a Tufted Titmouse the other day. It seemed to stare at me while I filmed…

  • Ugly Juggling Shower Slow Practice is Still Progress

    Ugly Juggling Shower Slow Practice is Still Progress

    I’m still practicing the shower juggling pattern. I’ve got an ugly presentation with claw-grabbing, flattening the half shower fake jobs, and uneven throw spacing. But I’m not quitting yet. I’m trying to follow the JuggleMan’s example. I didn’t get a breakthrough until yesterday when I tried my black and gold Hawkeye juggling balls. I guess…

    The Other Feral Tabby Catches Lunch

    This is the companion to yesterday’s post about the gray Feral Tabby and its encounter with the whitetail deer. This cat is orange and white and it might be a litter mate to the gray one, just a guess. It does a great job of hunting for mice. And it caught one!

  • Juggling My Birthday Glow Balls

    Juggling My Birthday Glow Balls

    Hey, it’s my birthday and it turns out the juggling glow balls are my early gift. Sena decorated my cake, using cookie icing that sort of spread out. You got to love the birthday card she got for me. “Selective Listening Ensures the Survival of Man.” Or at least this man. Just for the occasion…

  • Palm Sunday

    Palm Sunday

    Today is Palm Sunday, the beginning of Jesus’ last week on earth. The palm tree reminds me of the time we spent in Hawaii. We saw a lot of coconut palms. The featured image is from 1997, when we were there. I remember seeing a picture in a storybook of Jesus riding into Jerusalem on…
