Slow Progress with Juggle Behind the Back Trick
About a month ago, I made a YouTube video showing my miserable performance trying to do the throw behind the back juggling trick. I have been practicing nearly every day since. I’m still not able to do the trick and integrate it into the 3-ball cascade. On the other, I’ve gone from zero percent to…

Congratulations to Paul Thisayakorn, MD!
I got a wonderful holiday greeting from one of my favorite past residents, Paul Thisayakorn, MD. He’s running a top-notch Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry (CL-P) Service and a brand-new C-L Fellowship in Thailand. I could not be more excited for him and his family. His wife, Bow, runs the Palliative Care Service. He and Bow answered our…

Viral Story Rabbit Holes on the Web
Sena told me about the viral story on the web entitled “A Woman Removes Painting Varnish and Uncovers Husband’s 50 Year Old Secret.” It’s dated December 27, 2022. The story is written in slide show format, which has a rabbit hole feel to it, especially after I try to verify the details. You’ve probably seen…

Rag Time and Classical Music Fusion
The other night I heard something pretty interesting on the Music Choice channel. I was listening to the Light Classical stuff because, let’s face it, I’m a real lightweight when it comes to knowing anything about music, much less the classical genre. It reminded me of a time long ago when my mother tried to…

Snowball Juggling!
Yesterday after we shoveled our sidewalks and driveway (again!) we went for a walk. Yes, we finally lost our minds. In fact, the temperature was a balmy 14 degrees. We almost put on shorts. It was a little breezy. The city plows had not been out. It was their day off. Because of that, there…

Christmas Day 2022 Antics!
Christmas Day at our house was a lot of fun. I got a coffee mug that specifies the importance of cribbage. Sena got a throw that sort of complements the throw she got me on our anniversary. Those throws add a lot to the ambience in the room. And the coffee mug really speaks to…

Hope This is the Last Day of the Arctic Blast
It’s Saturday, Christmas Eve, and we’re hoping this is the last day of the Arctic Blast from Winter Storm Elliott.

Early Christmas Gift for Us!
We’re still in the big Arctic Blast. The wind was howling after the snowstorm. We worked so hard shoveling snow that we decided to give ourselves a slightly early Christmas gift. It’s a foot massager. We had to clear the front walk to enable the delivery guy to get it to us. It’s quite a…

Cedar Waxwings Get Cold Breakfast
The morning of December 22, 2022 was one of the most frigid days in recent memory. The winter storm brought 30-40 mph winds and temperatures sometimes to down to 30 or worse. I didn’t get right out there to shovel. Snow was blowing around until well after noon. This gave me a chance to watch…

Snow Day!
I wrote this post yesterday because I didn’t know whether or not we’d have a power outage because of high winds (up to nearly 50 mph) predicted for the Arctic Blast this week. When we’re not outside scooping our walkway and driveway, we’ll probably be playing cribbage or, God forbid, Scrabble (which I always lose).…
