Practicing the Reverse Cascade Juggling Pattern

Jim Updates His Workout and Adds a Step Counter!

Winter Storm Finn and the One-Eyed Snowball Juggler!
Holy horizontal, heavy, wet, driving snow. At least you could make great snowballs for juggling! I got up around 4 in the morning to shovel. Sena came out a little later and we took shifts a couple of times. I still had to run back out again in the mid-afternoon to clear away what’s probably…
