Sumo

I like to cheer for the smaller guy and to point out when someone is exceptionally hairy. I love the way sumo is steeped in tradition, with song and pomp and a whole lot of belly slapping.

I also love it when they tumble. Sometimes they even bounce a little.

  1. We heard someone speak this week. As an aside, she mentioned that she had lived in Japan in the 60s or 70s while her husband was on assignment for the State Dept. She said that she worked in a studio dubbing monster movies into English and that it was a great job. You should look into that!

  2. Jealousy rearing it’s head here. Would LOVE to attend a live sumo match. The snippets ESPN gives us here only whet the appetite. It’s the “referees” that scare me.
