Juggling - Three balls

In September 2018 I took up juggling for the first time, after pondering the hobby for close to a year. As yet I am not highly proficient. Right now I can to the Cascade, which is the most basic juggling pattern - according to the Library of Juggling.

Juggling has thus far been an incredible source of relaxation since I made progress in it. Thanks to my discovery of the Library of Juggling, I plan to build my juggling pattern repertoire...slowly. Right now I dabble with the half shower and juggler's tennis too. These two are a tad more advanced than the cascade.

I hope to share more details later, perhaps with video too.

Writing - a strange hobby

Of most activities a person can do writing seems the easiest. With computers it seems even easier than it without. A simple word processing software and a powered up device and you can lay down one word next to the other. Yet, as far as relaxing goes, perhaps writing should not be engaged in. Not as a hobby. A most apt description of writing is that you sit down at a typewriter and bleed. That it's easy. Hemingway had it write. Maybe the continue inner push to writing is the feeling after the bleeding stopped. It's a relieve. Enormously so.

Yes, for those who want to relax by blood letting...go ahead - write. There's more to it, but sometimes that's all there is to it.
