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…

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…

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).…

New Juggling Balls!

Practicing for the Behind the Back Juggling Trick
I’ve been practicing for a juggling trick, the behind the back throw. For me, it’s harder than any other trick so far. And to be clear, I’m not talking about juggling the full cascade entirely behind my back—that’s for the pros. I’m just trying to toss one ball behind my back while juggling the 3-ball…

Updates on Amaryllis and Ugly Juggling
The Amaryllis Star of Holland opens up a little more each day. It may open before Christmas. I make do with the sticky juggling balls. They’re easily squishable and tacky enough to pick up the little granules my original juggling balls were stuffed with. Evidently, the vacuum cleaner couldn’t get them all. In the process…

Old and Busted Juggling Balls
As you may know, I started juggling in mid-October. The Learn to Juggle kit came with 3 balls. After practicing for over a month and a half, they are old and busted. The seams are splitting and the granules are flying out, as they smack my hands or hit the floor, computer, walls, and other…

More Ugly Juggling!
I know you’ve been waiting for more ugly juggling and I’ve got it for you right here. I have been struggling with doing the under the leg toss trick and the reverse cascade as well for days. Both are extremely ugly, but I’m giving myself credit because I’m a geezer past his mid-sixties who just…
