Rube Goldberg Contraptions and Other Updates
Just random updates for now. That 2-person 6 ball pass juggle Sena and I made a YouTube about? We could barely complete a couple of volleys, and we didn’t think we’d ever make much more progress. However, yesterday, we were starting to make 3, even 4 passes and cascades. Just when you think it’s hopeless….…

2 Person 6 Ball Pass Juggle
Sena and I reached for the sky and tried another two-person juggle pattern with 6 balls. It’s supposedly one of the easier tricks, but we are ordinary jugglers and beg to differ. One YouTube expert juggler says you should be able to stand in one place and juggle 100 cascade throws to do this trick.…

Food for Thought
I’m giving a shout-out to a couple of child psychiatrists, one I know only from a blog, The Good Enough Psychiatrist. The other is an assistant professor in the University of Iowa Child Psychiatry Dept. I’ve never met her. Since Jenna gives her name in the About Me section of her blog, I’m going to…

Chair Leg Cups for Floor Protection–Hah!
Okay, Sena ordered some chair leg cups to protect our wood floors. These are for the new Parsons chairs we got recently. The cups and how to install them over the chair legs are enough to remind some people of condoms for extraterrestrials. These people have no morals and have not developed the maturity needed…

Speaking of Spanish
Every once in a while, I get an urge to try to learn to speak, or at least read Spanish. Recently, Men in Black was on the Telemundo broadcasting network. I tried to watch it but gave up after a few minutes. The dubbing was disappointing because the actors don’t speak Spanish and the dialogue…

Parsons Chairs Our Latest Knockdown Furniture
Our old Parsons chairs are getting pretty lumpy, so we ordered some new ones. We generally buy and put together knockdown furniture to save money, although squatting on my haunches and sitting on the floor while cranking a hex head wrench makes my joints sore. Sena was having a little anxiety about the chairs. Ordering…

Side By Side Steal Juggle
We took a couple days to get the hang of the side steal juggle. It’s not easy and a lot of the throws look more like sneaky passes than steals. But it’s a lot of fun! Sena juggles with her arms really reaching for the sky, like she’s getting robbed—which actually fits this complicated crime…

Juggling Updates
Well, I’ve been juggling for a year now. I have been trying to learn the shower juggling pattern for 6 months. I can still do only about 3-4 throws. I think it’ll happen eventually. All of the juggling balls are downstairs on the lower level since all the upstairs doors were repainted. We can’t scuff…

Claw Back Those Juggling Balls in The Steal!
Sena and I have been practicing the front steal trick in juggling. It’s another two-person juggling pattern that took us a couple of days to get right—sort of. We tried it at first by counting the throws (and catches), which helped us sustain the pattern. On the other hand, it was a lot more fun…
