- Hello,
- I remember reading in a book (though I can't remember which book) about
- a Silicon Valley big shot who had a net attached to the roof of his office.
- When asked what it was for, he would pull it down and slip his head and
- shoulders inside a hole cut in the net. This way, he could practice numbers
- and have the balls come back to him. It sounded like a great idea...
- You could get a used parachute (watch out, 'cause I think they are flammable)
- tack it to your ceiling, and cut a hole for your head and upper torso.
- Shoulder straps could make the fabric "tent" near your body so it would be
- easier to retrieve lost balls (are you with me?) Maybe you could even make
- it so balls would roll around from behind your back to your front.
-
- Has anyone tried this? Mail or post, 'cause I need this for learning.
- I lost all my Zen balls while being a movie extra (the "Killer Angels", a
- Civil War movie out next summer on cable, look for me juggling in the
- background of a campfire sequence) Does anyone have the address for Zen
- balls, how much, and if I can get a discount. I relly admire the woman
- who make/sells them. They are squishy beanbag like dodecahedrons, filled
- with birdseed so they are environmentally cool. Highly recommended, and
- check out the cool fabric and colors! But I dont' have the address.
- Thanks
