No, didn't see the post. Which one?

I learned to juggle in college and it took over my life. I was heavy into the juggling culture for years -- I ran the college juggling club and went to all the conventions and even ran our own convention at MSU. Good and crazy times. I eventually dropped out of college and survived on small gigs and big dreams. I eventually went back to university and finished getting a math degree and then went to RIngling and Brothers and Barnum and Baily Clown College (class of 93). Afterwards I toured with Royal Hanneford Circus on and off for a season and then decided I wanted to be a math teacher and so enrolled at FSU in the masters program. FSU has a student circus and I did juggling, trapeze and slack wire for two years while getting my masters. I enrolled in the PhD program afterwards and had my first child and so had no more time for circus. I do a show now and then, or do a math of juggling performance. I've written a paper on it. And even given a talk at a sci-fi convention called "Math, Juggling and Time Travel". Juggling has been an important part of my life.
