Me me me me me me me!

barry_juggling.jpgI don’t publish many photos of myself on this blog, but I just came across this one while cleaning my room, and thought I’d share it. It’s from my sister’s wedding (or, more accurately, her wedding reception) a few years ago. I’m a bit fatter now, and my hair’s a bit longer, but otherwise I look much the same.

I love juggling, but I’m not all that good at it. (Notice how no one is standing near me – a wise decision on their part!) I can juggle balls or beanbags fairly well, including doing some tricks. But I tend to drop clubs after only 15 or 20 passes, and I can’t juggle more than three objects. I should practice more often, but who has time?

It’s a bit embarrassing – I say I’m “cleaning” my room, but really what I’m doing is unpacking, over a year after moving in. And I’m only unpacking now because I need to clear off my second desk so I have room to draw. (It’s fortunate that I own a loft bed, or I couldn’t possibly fit two large desks in my bedroom!)

    Nice photo, you even have professional juggling equipment, wow :)

    I’ve lived a whole year without unpacking too and I mean, not just boxes of stuff, but clothes still in bags and suitcases, or piled up on the floor. I should be uber-embarassed.

    Ah, but see: when I hear you’re at a wedding, I can’t help but visualize you in a Silver Shadow tuxedo.

    Which means my mental image of your day job is probably much shinier than actuality.

    Great picture. You’re a better juggler than me, and I’m a math major from Reed. Oh the shame.

    Great photo.

    Are you aware of Reed College’s juggling group? Apparently they’ve been meeting for a number of years. My partner likes juggling too.
