More Ugly Juggling Tricks
It’s way past time for more ugly juggling tricks. I’m working on a few and my skills wax and wane, a lot like delirium. It fits. Behind the back, under the leg, 1-UP 2-UP, over the top with juggler’s tennis, and using a different color ball (orange) for the trick ball are the highlights. It’s…

Behind the Back Ugly Juggling Trick!
I have been diligently practicing the juggling behind the back trick daily and may have just turned the corner. I started practicing the behind the back trick along with the under the leg trick because the throws, mistakes, and corrections are similar. I usually throw the trick ball too far out and the video will…

Slow Progress with Juggle Behind the Back Trick
About a month ago, I made a YouTube video showing my miserable performance trying to do the throw behind the back juggling trick. I have been practicing nearly every day since. I’m still not able to do the trick and integrate it into the 3-ball cascade. On the other, I’ve gone from zero percent to…

Snowball Juggling!
Yesterday after we shoveled our sidewalks and driveway (again!) we went for a walk. Yes, we finally lost our minds. In fact, the temperature was a balmy 14 degrees. We almost put on shorts. It was a little breezy. The city plows had not been out. It was their day off. Because of that, there…

New Juggling Balls!
Hey, the ugly juggler just got a new set of juggling balls! And you’ll be thrilled to know my juggling is just as ugly as ever. I know next to nothing about juggling except what I’ve learned in the last month or so. The Zeekio balls weigh 110 grams (almost 4 oz) each and they’re…

Practicing for the Behind the Back Juggling Trick
I’ve been practicing for a juggling trick, the behind the back throw. For me, it’s harder than any other trick so far. And to be clear, I’m not talking about juggling the full cascade entirely behind my back—that’s for the pros. I’m just trying to toss one ball behind my back while juggling the 3-ball…

Earth Shaking Announcements!
I have announcements that you don’t want to miss! We got our Sasquatch cribbage board and it is gorgeous. We hope to have a YouTube video of us playing a game in a day or two. The Amaryllis Star of Holland continues to open, almost before our eyes. It’ll probably be in full bloom before…

Updates on Amaryllis and Ugly Juggling
The Amaryllis Star of Holland opens up a little more each day. It may open before Christmas. I make do with the sticky juggling balls. They’re easily squishable and tacky enough to pick up the little granules my original juggling balls were stuffed with. Evidently, the vacuum cleaner couldn’t get them all. In the process…

Old and Busted Juggling Balls
As you may know, I started juggling in mid-October. The Learn to Juggle kit came with 3 balls. After practicing for over a month and a half, they are old and busted. The seams are splitting and the granules are flying out, as they smack my hands or hit the floor, computer, walls, and other…

More Ugly Juggling!
I know you’ve been waiting for more ugly juggling and I’ve got it for you right here. I have been struggling with doing the under the leg toss trick and the reverse cascade as well for days. Both are extremely ugly, but I’m giving myself credit because I’m a geezer past his mid-sixties who just…
