Autism Awareness Duct Tape Bracelets

Hey all! I'm making duct tape bracelets for Autism Awareness (April is Autism Awareness month.) The bracelets are $3 each, and ALL the proceeds will go to this great organization called Autism Speaks. I'll bring some with me to the gym, and will be selling them over the next few weeks. So let me know if you want one!

My Website!

Hey everyone! I just thought I'd share the link to my new website. It's still a bit under construction, but better than it was on day one. (Yesterday)

Check it out!

(I know this doesn't have anything to do with juggling, but I DID mention my cup stacking on the site!)

Branin Juggling on Youtube

Hey All, I've finally gotten this video onto YouTube. It's been a learning experience. Copyrights? Who knew? Anyway, it's not all that I wanted it to be, but it could still be the first step on the road to my 15 minutes of fame. Now you have to do your part: pass it along to all your friends and relations and point out that the deeply textured camera work and intricate story line will richly reward multiple viewings. Search for Mr. Boyd at Ski Sawmill or use the URL:

Oh yea, do we still use this blog, or did we move on to something else? I do so try to keep up. I guess I'll know when I don't get my 15 minutes of fame.

Running Away With the Circus Blog

Ever wondered what it's like to run away with the circus? Now you can find out by following Shana Kennedy's blog "Running Away With the Circus", in which she chronicles her family's experiences as her husband, juggler Greg Kennedy, tours with Cirque du Soleil's show Totem.

Juggling Resolutions

As 2010 concludes, I've been thinking about some of the juggling progress I've made over the past year. I've also contemplated the goals I made but did not attain. Did you meet the juggling targets you set for yourself in 2010? Or, as in my case, did gravity alter the trajectory of your intentions?

If you attend our session at the gym on New Year's Day, kindly contribute to my research by letting me know of your juggling-related aspirations for 2011. If you consent, I'll post them on the blog. If you can't make it, note yours in a comment to this post. It's a personal issue but I assure my interest is magnanimous, to support the exchange of expertise and juggling growth among all club members in 2011.

Claymotion Primer

I was introduced to Claymotion juggling during the last Phillyfest. If you're like me and you've forgotten what you learned, here's a great online primer.

THJ Practice on Christmas and New Year's Day

Well, once every seven years or so (on average), the aforementioned two holidays fall on Saturdays. And -- lucky us -- this is the year!

I'm inclined to cancel the THJ practice session on these two days, unless some member of the THJ Executive Committee feels they'd like to have a session and is also ready to supervise the gym at that time.

(Having a session on Thanksgiving is something of an annual tradition for us, since it always happens on a Thursday [i.e., a practice day], but these sporadic dates are something different...)

So, unless you see a further posting on this subject, please note that there won't be sessions on either of these days.

Hoping that the holiday season is bringing you happiness and continued good health.
