Geezer Level One Leg Stand Juggling
This is just a suggestion for whoever’s on the rules committee for juggling world records. Recall that a couple of young guys grabbed world records for longest time juggling the 3-ball cascade while standing on leg. The current world record is a little over 22 minutes. Wow! I think there needs to be a new…

Sena and Jim Do Two Person Juggling Again!
Against all odds, Sena and I did what looked impossible the other day—Two Person 5 ball 2 Count Asynchronous Juggling. For some reason that was harder to learn than the first two person juggling trick we learned. You can find only a stick figure GIF of how the trick is done on the web. It’s…

Air Purifier Went to Code Green and More Odds and Ends
Just some odds and ends here today. Our new RENPHO Air Purifier went to Green Air Quality yesterday around lunchtime. It’s the first time since we got it that it changed. Green still means “good” air quality. Blue is “very good.” Orange is bad, red is “polluted,” and magenta is “evacuate now!” The fan speed…

Clumsy Juggling
We decided to kick it up a notch with our two-person ball passing juggle routine. We switched out three of the bean bag Zeekio balls for some glowing LED juggling balls. The LEDs are bigger and heavier than the bean bags, which led to more challenging passes. They also look better in low light, so…

Two Person 5 Ball Passing Jitterbugging Juggling!
Sena and I are going to break the internet with another video of two person juggling! OK, so maybe we won’t exactly break the internet—but we might give it a nosebleed. We had to think of a way to top our recent side hug version of tandem juggling with 3 balls. So, we tried the…

Discover Tandem Juggling Just for Fun!
I found out about tandem juggling yesterday and learned how to do it from a YouTube video by genius juggler Niels Duinker and his sidekick, Piet van Steen. Sena and I picked it up pretty quickly. It’s a wide frame form of the 3-ball cascade. All we had to do was practice throwing a little…

Now Playing! See My Psychiatric Times and Medical Word News Juggling Videos
My juggling video is up for viewing now on the Psychiatric Times website! The title is “A Journey of Juggling.” It’s in the section called More Than Medicine. You can also find it on the Medical World News website with a slightlly different title, “After Hours: Juggling 101.” It’s in the section called After Hours.…

Wings in the Garden
We’ve got more videos of birds and a butterfly (which I think is a swallowtail) in our garden. The catbirds and oddly, song sparrows (I thought they were rare in our part of the country?) are turning out to be regular visitors. They like the mulberries and spend a lot of time preening. They visit…

Every Minute Counts in Physical Activity for Health Even If Your Step Counter Does Not Count It!
If you want a quick read for how every minute counts in physical activity for your health, see the JAMA article “Physical Activity for Health—Every Minute Counts” (Katzmarzyk PT, Jakicic JM. Physical Activity for Health—Every Minute Counts. JAMA. 2023;330(3):213–214. doi:10.1001/jama.2023.11014). Just for fun, I tried to see if about 5 minutes of juggling would result in a change…

Learning to Let Go in Juggling
A couple of days ago, Sena asked me to watch her as she practiced the toss and catch in juggling 3 balls. She could do the one, two, three, catch pretty well but for some reason couldn’t let go of the ball in her left hand to move forward to the one, two, three, four…
