  • Why Sena’s Juggling Balls Are Resting

    Why Sena’s Juggling Balls Are Resting

    Sena’s juggling balls have been silent lately, meaning I’ve not been hearing them hit the floor. She is pretty busy doing other things, like gardening. But I’m pretty sure another reason is dropping the balls. She and I are probably at about the same learning stage in juggling. She’s trying to get past the hurdles…

  • Ugly Juggling Shower Slow Practice is Still Progress

    Ugly Juggling Shower Slow Practice is Still Progress

    I’m still practicing the shower juggling pattern. I’ve got an ugly presentation with claw-grabbing, flattening the half shower fake jobs, and uneven throw spacing. But I’m not quitting yet. I’m trying to follow the JuggleMan’s example. I didn’t get a breakthrough until yesterday when I tried my black and gold Hawkeye juggling balls. I guess…

  • Update to Chat with Bard

    Update to Chat with Bard

    My recent chat with Google Bard, about which I posted on April 11, 2023, contained an error by Bard on all those strikes by physicians. Today I asked some follow-up questions: How many physician strikes have occurred in the United States? “There have been a few physician strikes in the United States, but they are…

  • How’s It Hanging, Bard?

    How’s It Hanging, Bard?

    I read the experiences of Dr. Ron Pies and Dr. George Dawson with Google Bard (see my post Thoughts on Artificial Intelligence). So I had my own conversation with Google Bard yesterday. Hi, Bard; how’s it hanging? “I am doing well, thank you for asking! I am excited to be able to help people with…

  • How Are Water Heaters and Jugglers Alike?

    How Are Water Heaters and Jugglers Alike?

    Let’s start off with a riddle I think I made up. I can’t find it anywhere on the web: How are water heaters and jugglers alike? The answer is at the end of this post. I’m still practicing the shower juggling pattern. Progress is slow. I found a YouTube channel called YouJuggle. It’s this guy…

  • Juggling My Birthday Glow Balls

    Juggling My Birthday Glow Balls

    Hey, it’s my birthday and it turns out the juggling glow balls are my early gift. Sena decorated my cake, using cookie icing that sort of spread out. You got to love the birthday card she got for me. “Selective Listening Ensures the Survival of Man.” Or at least this man. Just for the occasion…

  • Juggling Shower Practice Hits and Misses

    Juggling Shower Practice Hits and Misses

    I’m still working on the 3-ball juggling shower practice. I’m up to the toss and catch. It has taken me a couple of weeks to get beyond just dropping balls all over the place. There are a couple of methods I’m trying. One of them is to start the toss and catch by tossing up…

  • Stuck in Two Ball Shower Juggling Practice

    Stuck in Two Ball Shower Juggling Practice

    I get stuck at certain stages in juggling. It’s uglier than usual with learning the Shower. I’m struggling with the two-ball practice. I’ve looked at the YouTube videos of several experts and their demos vary. I found out from a Wikipedia article that the two ball Shower is a thing. But it’s not juggling. I’ve…

  • Juggling in Living Color!

    Juggling in Living Color!

    Sena got me a spectacular gift—glowing juggling balls! They’re not like any of the juggling balls we have. You plug them into a wall socket and they light up. They are not much bigger than the other juggling balls we have, so not much of a learning curve. In a way, they’re kind of like…

    Feisty and So On

    There’s this dialogue in Men in Black II between Serleena and Zed: Serleena: Zed, look at you, 25 years and you’re still just such a looker. Zed: Cut out the meat dairy. And you, still a pile of squirmy crap in a different wrapper. Serleena: So feisty. I’m becoming more aware of the use of…
