We Juggled on Our Anniversary!
Guess what we did on our anniversary yesterday? We juggled! We got another set of 3 glow balls so we could try the 2-person 6 ball pass juggling trick. The glow balls are plastic and filled with plastic pellets. They are uniform in size and weight and have 20 different colored light modes and patterns.…

Gearing Up for Juggling!
Well, Sena and I have been practicing the 2-person 6 ball pass juggling trick. It’s a trick just to get synchronized. Timing is everything—and so is aim. Sena and I both have a tendency to throw balls too high, too low, high and outside, etc. It’s Sena’s low line drive pitch I’m worried about mainly.…

Rube Goldberg Contraptions and Other Updates
Just random updates for now. That 2-person 6 ball pass juggle Sena and I made a YouTube about? We could barely complete a couple of volleys, and we didn’t think we’d ever make much more progress. However, yesterday, we were starting to make 3, even 4 passes and cascades. Just when you think it’s hopeless….…

2 Person 6 Ball Pass Juggle
Sena and I reached for the sky and tried another two-person juggle pattern with 6 balls. It’s supposedly one of the easier tricks, but we are ordinary jugglers and beg to differ. One YouTube expert juggler says you should be able to stand in one place and juggle 100 cascade throws to do this trick.…

Side By Side Steal Juggle
We took a couple days to get the hang of the side steal juggle. It’s not easy and a lot of the throws look more like sneaky passes than steals. But it’s a lot of fun! Sena juggles with her arms really reaching for the sky, like she’s getting robbed—which actually fits this complicated crime…

Juggling Updates
Well, I’ve been juggling for a year now. I have been trying to learn the shower juggling pattern for 6 months. I can still do only about 3-4 throws. I think it’ll happen eventually. All of the juggling balls are downstairs on the lower level since all the upstairs doors were repainted. We can’t scuff…

Claw Back Those Juggling Balls in The Steal!
Sena and I have been practicing the front steal trick in juggling. It’s another two-person juggling pattern that took us a couple of days to get right—sort of. We tried it at first by counting the throws (and catches), which helped us sustain the pattern. On the other hand, it was a lot more fun…

Geezer Level One Leg Stand Juggling
This is just a suggestion for whoever’s on the rules committee for juggling world records. Recall that a couple of young guys grabbed world records for longest time juggling the 3-ball cascade while standing on leg. The current world record is a little over 22 minutes. Wow! I think there needs to be a new…

Sena and Jim Do Two Person Juggling Again!
Against all odds, Sena and I did what looked impossible the other day—Two Person 5 ball 2 Count Asynchronous Juggling. For some reason that was harder to learn than the first two person juggling trick we learned. You can find only a stick figure GIF of how the trick is done on the web. It’s…

Air Purifier Went to Code Green and More Odds and Ends
Just some odds and ends here today. Our new RENPHO Air Purifier went to Green Air Quality yesterday around lunchtime. It’s the first time since we got it that it changed. Green still means “good” air quality. Blue is “very good.” Orange is bad, red is “polluted,” and magenta is “evacuate now!” The fan speed…
