Trying to Find the Juggler Space
I’ve been learning to juggle for over a couple of weeks now and I’m having trouble finding the sweet spot in juggling. It’s called the juggle space and I don’t know if there’s any agreement about exactly where it is. On the other hand, I frequently toss balls too far in front of me or…

Thoughts on Birds Banging into Windows
The other day we heard this big bang against one of our windows. We both guessed what it was—another bird collision. A couple of years ago, one crashed into a window, got knocked out, lay on its side, and puffed really hard for a half hour or so. Then it flew away. This bird was…

Blob Juggling
Sena bought me some new juggling items, which include three new balls and 3 Blobs. The Blobs are probably extraterrestrials because they have antennae. They all tend to bounce off my hands, but that’s no excuse for my continuing ugly form, which I swear I’m continuing to work on. I’m starting to occasionally sneak in…

Some Product Labels Work and Some Make Me Scratch My Head
This is just a quick scratch-my-head post about product labels. The Boss Hog Italian Sausage Screamin’ Sicilian pizza is nothing to puzzle over and it tells the unvarnished, unambiguous truth. This is just our opinion, of course and you’ll have to judge yourself. The Screamin’ Sicilian Boss Hog box says it has “boulder size” Italian…

Buck on the Trail
I caught a video of a buck deer (shot through our sun room window) on the trail of a doe yesterday. He looked a little old and on the slow side. And the doe was shy and just galloped away whenever he got too close. Maybe he’s constipated. He might need a little Serutan. The…

Ugly Juggling!
You know, what I wonder is whether there is a place for ugly juggling? Because that’s what I do. There might be such a thing as an ugly juggling stage in learning to juggle, and could there be an Ugly Juggling Society? I could be the president. We could have annual meetings in warm climates…

Juggling Jim’s 3 Ball Cascade
Just to update you on my juggling progress, I’ve come up with some personal goals. My milestone are the iconic 3 trophies, gold, silver, and bronze, to line up with what I’m learning—the 3-ball cascade. The trophies are keyed to the number of throws you make when you juggle. The juggling manual says 30 throws…

My Cribbage Losing Streak and My Review of the Cribbage Classic Computer Game
Sena and I played cribbage yesterday and, of course she won. She has been on a spectacular winning streak. She got a hand score of 21. I don’t know what I’m going to have to do to come up with a win. Cheat? I could keep extra cards up my sleeves and elsewhere, but I…

Dryer Ball Juggling Combo!
I’m still making slow but steady progress at juggling. I’m juggling 3 balls although my form and rhythm need a lot of work. I’m still lunging to catch balls I’m tossing too far out in front of me. But I’m having a great time learning. You’ll notice I sometimes count the throws. I have a…
