  • Snowstorm Today Perfect for Deer Zoomies and Snowball Juggling!

    Snowstorm Today Perfect for Deer Zoomies and Snowball Juggling!

    Today we got a fair amount of snow dumped on us. It gave the deer the zoomies. They ran around in it like they were having a lot of fun. It was a heavy, wet snow. So, we took some time out from shoveling so I could make some snowballs and try juggling them. It…

  • I Got The Greatest Shout Out Today

    I Got The Greatest Shout Out Today

    I just got the greatest shout out from one of my heroes, Dr. H. Steven Moffic, MD. The link to one of his regular Psychiatric Times web (PT) articles, mainly on what’s in the daily news that impacts psychiatry or vice versa, is on the menu of my home page. The title of the PT…

  • More Ugly Juggling Tricks

    More Ugly Juggling Tricks

    It’s way past time for more ugly juggling tricks. I’m working on a few and my skills wax and wane, a lot like delirium. It fits. Behind the back, under the leg, 1-UP 2-UP, over the top with juggler’s tennis, and using a different color ball (orange) for the trick ball are the highlights. It’s…

  • Behind the Back Ugly Juggling Trick!

    Behind the Back Ugly Juggling Trick!

    I have been diligently practicing the juggling behind the back trick daily and may have just turned the corner. I started practicing the behind the back trick along with the under the leg trick because the throws, mistakes, and corrections are similar. I usually throw the trick ball too far out and the video will…

  • Slow Progress with Juggle Behind the Back Trick

    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!

    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).…

    Ugly Juggling Tricks with New Juggling Balls

    I now have two brand new sets of juggling balls, green and orange. I mixed them up for a short demo of my extremely ugly juggling skills. And this includes Christmas music! Enjoy!

  • New Juggling Balls!

    New Juggling Balls!

    Hey, the ugly juggler just got a new set of juggling balls! And you’ll be thrilled to know my juggling is just as ugly as ever. I know next to nothing about juggling except what I’ve learned in the last month or so. The Zeekio balls weigh 110 grams (almost 4 oz) each and they’re…

  • Practicing for the Behind the Back Juggling Trick

    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…
