Jim Updates His Workout and Adds a Step Counter!
Since we added the step platform, I’ve been wondering how to count steps when I use it because for some reason my smartphone step counter won’t count steps when I try to use it on the platform. Sena got a handy step counter and it works! It works if you have it in your pocket…

Civil or Uncivil Bird Society
We caught sight of several birds engaged in the usual interactions with each other and their prey (in the case of the hawk). Call it civil or uncivil society, it’s natural no matter how you see it. I’m going to call it a Red-tailed Hawk that caught a gray squirrel and had a tough time…

Woodpeckers Coming Out of the Woodwork After the Snowstorms!
We have not seen any birds in our backyard since the arctic blast began this past week or so—until a couple of days ago. We saw a Red-Bellied Woodpecker, a Downy woodpecker, and a White-Breasted Nuthatch. Hardly a flock, but interesting anyway. We had a little trouble deciding whether we saw a White-Breasted Nuthatch or…

We are breaking the internet again as partners in juggling crime. It turns out the 2-person 6 ball juggling pattern has 3 variations: The 1, 2 Pass: Both partners make two right hand throws, then pass to the partner on the third throw. Always throw from the right side to your partner’s left. The 1…

Still Practicing the Shower Juggle!
I’m still practicing the shower juggle pattern. I’m comparing how I did in April with how I’m doing now. No doubt, my form is wonky and I still can do only 3-5 throws. But I think juggling with the big plastic balls is easier when it comes to the shower. I can’t figure why, unless…

The Santa Hat Juggling Duo Breaks the Internet!
Are we having any fun? You bet! We donned our Santa hats and did the 2-person 6 ball juggling until we fell over. This is a fun pattern because, even when you mess up, it’s hilarious. When we count out loud, it sort of helps keep us in sync—but not always. The last part of…

Juggling Update!
Well, we’re using our new safety glasses retainers and they work out fine. We’re a little off the beam on the 2-person 6 ball pass juggle for some reason. Some days are diamonds, some days are stones, I guess. Our mistakes are funny. We just make too many. I’m still working on the shower juggle…

New Safety Goggle Retainers!
We’re big on safety goggles whenever we juggle nowadays. The only problem is that they fit loosely around our ears. We’re always pushing them back up on our noses. So, Sena got a couple of eyewear retainers for our safety goggles. They were only a dollar a piece. I was a doubtful at first that…

Another 2 Person Glow Ball Juggling Adventure!
Sena and I are still practicing the 2-person 6 ball pass juggling trick. We adjusted the colors on the glow balls so they all change color. We count so we can stay in synch on the pass (1, 2, pass). We have to count the first two throws from the right hand only—which is sometimes…
