  • Ugly Juggling Hits the Shower

    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!

    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…

    More New Juggling Balls!

    I just got the other set of new juggling balls. They have Iowa Hawkeye colors and a polyurethane coating that could make them more durable. They’re 2.5 inches in diameter and weight 130 grams.

  • Lost Juggling Ball Found!

    Lost Juggling Ball Found!

    I lost one of my new juggling balls temporarily this morning while trying the behind the back throw. OK, so I dramatized the video a little. That’s because I got interrupted in the search to help Sena hang our new wall clock. I had no idea where that ball was. I even considered a wormhole…

  • New 12 Panel Juggling Balls!

    New 12 Panel Juggling Balls!

    I got one of the two new sets of juggling balls today. They are the Zeekio 12 panel, 67 mm, 130 gm balls, which are noticeably heavier and a little harder to do certain tricks with-like the behind the back throw. I dropped them several times, so they are getting broken in very well!

    Terry Trueblood Outing Today or How to Find Hearts Needing a Home

    We had enough of bad news on the web, so we went out to Terry Trueblood Recreation Area today. Good things are happening around here, including what we found at Trueblood. Sena ordered some items last week. One is a clock, which we’ll hang somewhere and then not look at. Another is a chair that…

  • Ugly Juggling So Far

    Ugly Juggling So Far

    I thought I’d make a video on the progress I’ve made so far in the last 4 months with ugly juggling. Man, it’s ugly; I’m still lunging and grabbing and making faces. But I’m also getting a real good workout. Psychiatric Times recorded my After Hours video via Zoom this morning. It won’t look like…

  • Big Wet Heavy Snow for Epic Snow Juggling!

    Big Wet Heavy Snow for Epic Snow Juggling!

    Well, today’s snowstorm was a mix of fluffy as well as wet and heavy. The latter made for pretty good snowballs, which led to epic juggling on a windy day, snow blowing in my face while I juggled. We had to clear the sidewalks and driveway first. I’m sure we got over half a foot…

  • Snowstorm Today Perfect for Deer Zoomies and Snowball Juggling!

    Snowstorm Today Perfect for Deer Zoomies and Snowball Juggling!

    Today we got a fair amount of snow dumped on us. It gave the deer the zoomies. They ran around in it like they were having a lot of fun. It was a heavy, wet snow. So, we took some time out from shoveling so I could make some snowballs and try juggling them. It…
