  • Costa Rica Tarrazu Comes in K-Cup Pods Now!

    Costa Rica Tarrazu Comes in K-Cup Pods Now!

    Sena ordered some Costa Rica Tarrazu coffee in K-Cup pods. There are two varieties, a medium roast and a dark roast. Tarrazu coffee always reminds me of our time spent in Madison, Wisconsin years ago. There were so many fun things to do and interesting sights to see. OK, so the dark roast is extra…

  • What The Heck, Let’s Talk About Butter

    What The Heck, Let’s Talk About Butter

    I’ve been pretty serious the last few blogs. Let’s lighten up and talk about butter. Is it bad for your health? Not necessarily, according to a WebMD article. In fact, butter has health benefits: There are risks, of course, including the risk of heart disease because butter has a lot of calories and saturated fat.…

  • An Old Blog Post About My College Days in Texas

    An Old Blog Post About My College Days in Texas

    There’s something embarrassing yet fascinating about reading my old blog posts from years ago. The one I read yesterday is titled simply “I Remember HT Heroes.” I make connections between my undergraduate college days at Huston-Tillotson College (now Huston-Tillotson University (an HBCU in Austin, Texas) and my early career as a consultation psychiatrist at The…

  • Shout Out to the European Delirium Association

    Shout Out to the European Delirium Association

    I just want to give an enthusiastic shout out to the European Delirium Association (EDA). I rediscovered the website. It’s updated and an extremely helpful organization in the study of delirium. It provides excellent education about the disorder. I met one of the past presidents of the EDA, Alasdair MacLullich back in the early 2010s.…

  • Whirlpool Care Counts Laundry Program Cleans Up!

    Whirlpool Care Counts Laundry Program Cleans Up!

    Sena and I just recently saw the TV commercial about the Whirlpool Care CountsTM Laundry Program, which has been providing washers and dryers for schools. It was launched to address school absenteeism, one cause of which is bullying of kids who don’t have clean clothes. They are also more likely to drop out of school.…

    Partners in Juggling Crime Breaking the Internet Again!

    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!

    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…

  • Spoonbills and Bald Eagles at Sand Lake!

    Spoonbills and Bald Eagles at Sand Lake!

    The other day it was about 60 degrees and the sun shone brilliantly—not a day to stay indoors! We went out to Terry Trueblood Recreation Area and did some bird-watching. Out on a sand bar on Sand Lake, we caught sight of two bald eagles. They seemed to be a mated pair. They actually courted…

  • The Santa Hat Juggling Duo Breaks the Internet!

    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…

    Watch for Jim and Sena Juggling in Santa Hats!

    Announcing the upcoming not-to-be-missed, one of a kind, holiday extravaganza never before witnessed holiday extravaganza—Jim and Sena juggling in Santa Hats! We’ve been rehearsing for this (or at least trying to) and one of the greatest challenges was laughing so hard we could barely stand up, let alone juggle. There’s something hilarious about juggling balls…
