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 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
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!
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
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…

Corn Removal Comedy
Sena does a lot of gardening, which means she uses a shovel frequently. She has quite a few corns on her feet for which she’s tried a number of remedies that run the gamut from scraping with a variety of simple tools to—sand paper. There, I said it and I’m glad. Maybe a little foot…

Amaryllis and Zygocactus Repotting
Remember that gorgeous Christmas Amaryllis flower? After it leaned over so far, we had to retire it, so to speak. We didn’t throw it out, but Sena kept it and performed some kind of miracle. Apparently, she resurrected it by giving it a little water. A couple of new leaves grew a few inches overnight.…

Slow Progress with Juggle Behind the Back Trick
About a month ago, I made a YouTube video showing my miserable performance trying to do the throw behind the back juggling trick. I have been practicing nearly every day since. I’m still not able to do the trick and integrate it into the 3-ball cascade. On the other, I’ve gone from zero percent to…

Snow Day!
I wrote this post yesterday because I didn’t know whether or not we’d have a power outage because of high winds (up to nearly 50 mph) predicted for the Arctic Blast this week. When we’re not outside scooping our walkway and driveway, we’ll probably be playing cribbage or, God forbid, Scrabble (which I always lose).…
