Ugly Juggling Tricks Now!
I’m learning juggling tricks. Uglier than ever, lucky for you! The 1 UP 2 UP is really tough to do. You have to toss up one ball and immediately toss up the other two while the one is hurtling back down like a meteor. As usual, I’m reeling, rocking, and rolling all over the place.…

Going for the Juggler Gold Trophy!
I’ve been working on my juggling form—and it’s only somewhat improved, but I’m getting 30 throws (good for the personal Gold Trophy milestone) without dropping more consistently just since yesterday. I’ve got about a dozen video clips with me getting at least 30 throws, one with 36 although I’m weaving, lunging, rearing, rocking and rolling…

Taming the Juggling Balls
As of November 7, 2022 it has been 22 days since I purchased the Learn to Juggle kit from Barnes and Noble. So far, my learning experience reminds me of a story by Mark Twain, “Taming the Bicycle,” which was published posthumously—obviously after he succumbed from his injuries in the attempt to ride the high-wheeled…

Blood Moon of November 2022 in the Books
Well, it was cold rousting out of bed into the freezing temperatures to get an eyeful of the total lunar eclipse, otherwise known as a blood moon. Sena still asks me questions about the whole event, including “And why can’t we see Earth?” She told me I could share that. I was so keyed up…

Trying to Find the Juggler Space
I’ve been learning to juggle for over a couple of weeks now and I’m having trouble finding the sweet spot in juggling. It’s called the juggle space and I don’t know if there’s any agreement about exactly where it is. On the other hand, I frequently toss balls too far in front of me or…

Blob Juggling
Sena bought me some new juggling items, which include three new balls and 3 Blobs. The Blobs are probably extraterrestrials because they have antennae. They all tend to bounce off my hands, but that’s no excuse for my continuing ugly form, which I swear I’m continuing to work on. I’m starting to occasionally sneak in…

Ugly Juggling!
You know, what I wonder is whether there is a place for ugly juggling? Because that’s what I do. There might be such a thing as an ugly juggling stage in learning to juggle, and could there be an Ugly Juggling Society? I could be the president. We could have annual meetings in warm climates…

Juggling Jim’s 3 Ball Cascade
Just to update you on my juggling progress, I’ve come up with some personal goals. My milestone are the iconic 3 trophies, gold, silver, and bronze, to line up with what I’m learning—the 3-ball cascade. The trophies are keyed to the number of throws you make when you juggle. The juggling manual says 30 throws…

Dryer Ball Juggling Combo!
I’m still making slow but steady progress at juggling. I’m juggling 3 balls although my form and rhythm need a lot of work. I’m still lunging to catch balls I’m tossing too far out in front of me. But I’m having a great time learning. You’ll notice I sometimes count the throws. I have a…
