  • More New Juggling Balls!

    More New Juggling Balls!

    I just got the other set of new juggling balls. They have Iowa Hawkeye colors and a polyurethane coating that could make them more durable. They’re 2.5 inches in diameter and weight 130 grams.

  • Lost Juggling Ball Found!

    Lost Juggling Ball Found!

    I lost one of my new juggling balls temporarily this morning while trying the behind the back throw. OK, so I dramatized the video a little. That’s because I got interrupted in the search to help Sena hang our new wall clock. I had no idea where that ball was. I even considered a wormhole…

  • New 12 Panel Juggling Balls!

    New 12 Panel Juggling Balls!

    I got one of the two new sets of juggling balls today. They are the Zeekio 12 panel, 67 mm, 130 gm balls, which are noticeably heavier and a little harder to do certain tricks with-like the behind the back throw. I dropped them several times, so they are getting broken in very well!

  • Ugly Juggling So Far

    Ugly Juggling So Far

    I thought I’d make a video on the progress I’ve made so far in the last 4 months with ugly juggling. Man, it’s ugly; I’m still lunging and grabbing and making faces. But I’m also getting a real good workout. Psychiatric Times recorded my After Hours video via Zoom this morning. It won’t look like…

  • Big Wet Heavy Snow for Epic Snow Juggling!

    Big Wet Heavy Snow for Epic Snow Juggling!

    Well, today’s snowstorm was a mix of fluffy as well as wet and heavy. The latter made for pretty good snowballs, which led to epic juggling on a windy day, snow blowing in my face while I juggled. We had to clear the sidewalks and driveway first. I’m sure we got over half a foot…

  • Snowstorm Today Perfect for Deer Zoomies and Snowball Juggling!

    Snowstorm Today Perfect for Deer Zoomies and Snowball Juggling!

    Today we got a fair amount of snow dumped on us. It gave the deer the zoomies. They ran around in it like they were having a lot of fun. It was a heavy, wet snow. So, we took some time out from shoveling so I could make some snowballs and try juggling them. It…

  • I Got The Greatest Shout Out Today

    I Got The Greatest Shout Out Today

    I just got the greatest shout out from one of my heroes, Dr. H. Steven Moffic, MD. The link to one of his regular Psychiatric Times web (PT) articles, mainly on what’s in the daily news that impacts psychiatry or vice versa, is on the menu of my home page. The title of the PT…

  • More Ugly Juggling Tricks

    More Ugly Juggling Tricks

    It’s way past time for more ugly juggling tricks. I’m working on a few and my skills wax and wane, a lot like delirium. It fits. Behind the back, under the leg, 1-UP 2-UP, over the top with juggler’s tennis, and using a different color ball (orange) for the trick ball are the highlights. It’s…

  • Behind the Back Ugly Juggling Trick!

    Behind the Back Ugly Juggling Trick!

    I have been diligently practicing the juggling behind the back trick daily and may have just turned the corner. I started practicing the behind the back trick along with the under the leg trick because the throws, mistakes, and corrections are similar. I usually throw the trick ball too far out and the video will…

  • Some Robins Can Be Sunbirds…Sort of

    Some Robins Can Be Sunbirds…Sort of

    We always thought of Robins as birds who are the harbingers of spring. On the other hand, we’ve seen Robins in the middle of winter. We saw them today. I realize that you technically can’t call a Robin a Sunbird. There is a species of Sunbird. It’s a small tropical forest bird. And you could…
