  • Jim Juggles the 423 Pattern Ordinary Style!

    Jim Juggles the 423 Pattern Ordinary Style!

    So, I found this 423-juggling pattern on Logan’s Juggling Gym website. It’s classified as an easy pattern. I can buy that because I can do it—sort of. I can’t explain why the patterns in this category are called by the number “423” and maybe somebody could find out about it and get back to me.…

  • Way to Go Dr. David Mair!

    Way to Go Dr. David Mair!

    I just want to make a shout out to a former psychiatry resident I helped teach about 18 years ago. He and a group of other residents did an outstanding and hilarious job of making a couple of teaching videos about how to cope with violent patients. I realize that news stories about health care…

  • What’s Up with the Puffy Robin?

    What’s Up with the Puffy Robin?

    Sena got a video of a really puffy robin yesterday. It’s not obese, but it was puffing out its breast and spreading its wings out over the ground. It was a little mysterious. Some experts say that puffing up like this means its trying to keep warm. But it was around 80 degrees. Others say…

    Svengoolie Intro: “Calling all stations! Clear the air lanes! Clear all air lanes for the big broadcast!” Well, this movie is all about Captain Kronos, a real swashbuckler and we are going to by god buckle some swashes, so hang on to your codpiece because, as Kronos himself says about his hunch-backed buddy, Grost, “What…

  • Upping My Game on the Single Leg Sit to Stand Exercise

    Upping My Game on the Single Leg Sit to Stand Exercise

    Sena has ordered a regular chair pad that I’ll use for my single leg sit to stand exercise. This is something I started back when we were staying in a hotel waiting for builders to finish building our new house a couple of years ago. I’ve been using a pile of clothes to increase the…

  • Liaison Psychiatrist appointed to Wexford General Hospital in Ireland

    Liaison Psychiatrist appointed to Wexford General Hospital in Ireland

    A few days ago, I read a news article announcing that a liaison psychiatrist was appointed to Wexford General Hospital, which is located in Ireland. It has around 280 beds. I didn’t see the name of the liaison psychiatrist who will be the lone ranger psychiatric consultant there. That person has my deepest respect as…

  • Baby, They Took My Tooth Out!

    Baby, They Took My Tooth Out!

    This afternoon an oral surgeon yanked that tooth left behind after one of my crowns popped out while flossing in mid-June. It had to be removed in two pieces with a jigsaw the surgeon got for half price at Lowe’s Hardware. The procedure itself was completely painless after local anesthetic. They gave me a big…

  • The Buck Moon & Buck Rogers July 2026

    The Buck Moon & Buck Rogers July 2026

    I got a few pictures last night around 9:00 p.m. or so of the full (or nearly so) Buck Moon. Although the best night would have been on the 29th, the pictures still showed the moon having a rusty reddish-orange color. This morning at around 5:00 a.m., it was the usual whitish color. I saw…

  • Working on That Georgian Shuffle Juggle!

    Working on That Georgian Shuffle Juggle!

    I’ve been practicing the Georgian Shuffle juggling trick lately because the way I do it makes me think of the sound of an old train. So, a couple of days ago, I worked on it and it didn’t take too long until it looked a little better. I’m not sure why jugglers call the pattern…

  • Ordinary Juggling Magic Bonanza

    Ordinary Juggling Magic Bonanza

    You’d better take a mild sedative before watching my latest YouTube juggling video. I bet you didn’t know I can do magic tricks! Of course, the truth is I can’t, but that kind of thing never stops me. I got the magic trick from Daniel Menendez (also known as JuggleMan), an amazing juggler who is…
