  • The Demonic Shrilling Chicken Rematch

    The Demonic Shrilling Chicken Rematch

    Remember that Shrilling Chicken I tried to juggle a few days ago? Well, I got my revenge for the sore finger it gave me. This is the message to chickens who peck me. Chicken, meet your juggler! This time, I put on gloves along with my usual safety goggles to prevent further injuries from the…

  • Attack of the Demonic Shrilling Chicken!

    Attack of the Demonic Shrilling Chicken!

    Remember that rubber chicken Sena ordered as a joke for what looks like my transformation into a Svengoolie fan? Svengoolie is the longstanding host on the MeTV channel which shows old, cheesy TV horror movies every Saturday. Svengoolie always gets a lot of rubber chickens tossed at him after he tells a few jokes. Well,…

  • Winter Storm Finn and the One-Eyed Snowball Juggler!

    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…

  • Snow Removal in Iowa City

    Snow Removal in Iowa City

    Iowa City has web pages for the rules on snow removal by the city plows and by residents. You can see the pdf of the map for residential street priorities for snow removal. Shoveling snow or using a heavy snow blower can be hazardous to your health. There is guidance from the National Safety Council…

  • Partners in Juggling Crime Breaking the Internet Again!

    Partners in Juggling Crime Breaking the Internet Again!

    We are breaking the internet again as partners in juggling crime. It turns out the 2-person 6 ball juggling pattern has 3 variations: The 1, 2 Pass: Both partners make two right hand throws, then pass to the partner on the third throw. Always throw from the right side to your partner’s left. The 1…

  • Still Practicing the Shower Juggle!

    Still Practicing the Shower Juggle!

    I’m still practicing the shower juggle pattern. I’m comparing how I did in April with how I’m doing now. No doubt, my form is wonky and I still can do only 3-5 throws. But I think juggling with the big plastic balls is easier when it comes to the shower. I can’t figure why, unless…

  • The Santa Hat Juggling Duo Breaks the Internet!

    The Santa Hat Juggling Duo Breaks the Internet!

    Are we having any fun? You bet! We donned our Santa hats and did the 2-person 6 ball juggling until we fell over. This is a fun pattern because, even when you mess up, it’s hilarious. When we count out loud, it sort of helps keep us in sync—but not always. The last part of…

  • Juggling Update!

    Juggling Update!

    Well, we’re using our new safety glasses retainers and they work out fine. We’re a little off the beam on the 2-person 6 ball pass juggle for some reason. Some days are diamonds, some days are stones, I guess. Our mistakes are funny. We just make too many. I’m still working on the shower juggle…

  • New Safety Goggle Retainers!

    New Safety Goggle Retainers!

    We’re big on safety goggles whenever we juggle nowadays. The only problem is that they fit loosely around our ears. We’re always pushing them back up on our noses. So, Sena got a couple of eyewear retainers for our safety goggles. They were only a dollar a piece. I was a doubtful at first that…

  • Another 2 Person Glow Ball Juggling Adventure!

    Another 2 Person Glow Ball Juggling Adventure!

    Sena and I are still practicing the 2-person 6 ball pass juggling trick. We adjusted the colors on the glow balls so they all change color. We count so we can stay in synch on the pass (1, 2, pass). We have to count the first two throws from the right hand only—which is sometimes…
