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
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…

Stuck in Two Ball Shower Juggling Practice

Ugly Juggling Hits the Shower
OK, I’ve found out that there’s more than one way to hit the shower pertaining to the juggling trick called “The Shower.” As usual, my form is ugly because I’m in the early practice phase of trying to learn the shower. But then, even when I think I’ve got a trick down—it’s always ugly. Anyway,…

Sena Learning How to Juggle!
Big news flash—Sena is learning how to juggle. She just started doing the single and two-ball practice throws on the way to learning how to do the 3-ball cascade, just like I did about 5 months ago. Just like she heard me dropping balls—now I hear her doing it. It’s a gas! It’s fascinating to…

More On Taming the Juggling Balls
I’ve been juggling for about 5 months now and reflecting on my progress. I think I’m doing OK for a geezer. Sena would call me a hot dog although I would still call it ugly juggling by any standard. What’s striking, at least to me, is the little bit of science I can find on…
