Put a bowl of oranges in front of my husband and he’ll soon be tossing them around. He tells me that he was once a pretty good juggler and that the trick is to throw the fruit straight up in the air so it can just fall down into your waiting hand. Perhaps that is my problem. The things I am juggling seem to fall and roll under the table. Or maybe I have too many oranges in the air!
