Not much.

I’ve done a lot more thinking about juggling than juggling in the past few weeks. 

I suppose there are a host of excuses I could get into, but more than anything I have just felt a bit run-down. I went to the chiropractor earlier this week though, and since then I have felt better (not 100% yet but getting there). 

I have spent some time juggling, and have continued to work with five in both the regular cascade and the three-ball multiplex. I’ve not made much progress, which isn’t surprising. To really hit any kind of breakthrough I know I will need at least an hour or two of solid, uninterrupted practice. 

I did notice, however, that after having slacked off for a few days I’ve not regressed at all in what I am able to do. In fact, (and this has been a pretty regular phenomenon) it seems like i am almost a little better in some areas. Not that I am suddenly able to make six good catches with five or anything, but rather, my first five catches seem a bit tighter. 

So, in a way, no news is good news I suppose. 

Mills mess with clubs is also going very nicely. I finally managed to get a thread up and running on rec.juggling (the WJF forum was very lackluster). I got some really nice links. This video by Luke Burrage is by far the best of what I got linked to. 

It is really nice to see someone else do what you are working on, it makes it seem possible, and gives you a better sense of what is really going on. 

I can very nearly put doubles spins on the third throw of my MM pattern now, in fact, I was able to get about five catches with high under-arm tosses. So, as seems to always be the case these days, things are going along slowly but surely. 

Well, thats all for now.
