  • Sena & Me Juggle on the Clear Creek Trail

    Sena & Me Juggle on the Clear Creek Trail

    Sena got a great idea, which was to do some juggling along the Clear Creek Trail. We picked a route we hadn’t walked for a couple of years and made it happen. OK, so I did the juggling and Sena shot video. But it was a blast. We saw a couple of new sights. One…

  • Progress with the Rainbow Cross Juggle!

    Progress with the Rainbow Cross Juggle!

    I’ve been making a little progress with the rainbow cross juggle pattern and made another video. I still miss quite a few, but I’m getting there. Collisions are a little less frequent. I still lunge, especially when I do back-to-back throws—which I thought I’d never do. I tossed a couple of neck catches for fun.

  • Reblogging “Cryptid Caught on Camera”

    Reblogging “Cryptid Caught on Camera”

    I’m reblogging my post from October 15, 2022 just to remind folks of our encounter with an unknown critter that was flipping the drain tile lids in the yard of a house we moved from a couple of years ago. I don’t know why I never thought of Bigfoot before, but it seems obvious to…

  • More Rainbow Cross Juggle Practice!

    More Rainbow Cross Juggle Practice!

    I’ve been working on the Rainbow Cross Juggle pattern. I do a little less lunging and I’m starting to try more than one throw in the pattern. It’s still only luck when I do a couple of Rainbow Cross throws back-to-back.

  • Practicing the Rainbow Cross Juggling Trick

    Practicing the Rainbow Cross Juggling Trick

    I’m working on a new juggle trick for me; it’s the Rainbow Cross. It’s a column-type pattern, similar to the 1UP2UP trick. The difference is the two outside balls cross in the air. There are a lot of collisions, which are fun—for a while. Some jugglers call this trick an easy beginner trick while others…

  • Trampoline Juggle Trick!

    Trampoline Juggle Trick!

    I found a new juggle trick on the web. It’s the trampoline trick. It’s not as easy as it looks and you have to have the right shirt to pull it off (see what I did there? No?). I found it on a juggling website. It’s part of a few juggling tricks which I recorded…

  • Juggling for Fun

    Juggling for Fun

    Although I struggle with some juggling tricks, I have a lot of fun too. And some tricks are a hoot because, when you’re a beginner, you never know exactly when you’re going to nail them—like the neck catch. My shower still has a straight across throw that sneaks up a little, but—whatever.

  • Juggle Trick Medleys!

    Juggle Trick Medleys!

    And now for the first time, juggle trick medleys! I grouped some easy juggle tricks in rough categories for this little video. I also included a neck catch comedy clip. I can do that trick—after 15 or so tries. This was fun and a little more difficult than I thought it would be. On the…

  • 2 Person 5 Ball Pass Juggle Redux!

    2 Person 5 Ball Pass Juggle Redux!

    Sena mentioned wanting to do a repeat of the 2-person 5 ball juggle we did about 3 years ago. So, we did. It’s a hoot. It’s like playing catch, only more complicated because we pass 5 balls back and forth between us. One of us passes straight across and the other passes diagonally. You can…

  • Watch Out for Fake Columns Juggling!

    Watch Out for Fake Columns Juggling!

    Hey, I just found out that September is Aging Awareness Month. No wonder I’m bad at juggling columns! I’m just unaware that I should have started juggling way before retirement a few years ago. There’s no getting around it—I need to practice columns if I’m going to juggle fake columns. It looks really cool when…
