I should be working

Somewhere deep in my memory, I remember watching Sumo wrestling on a little black and white television with my brother Rick. ABC’s Wide World of Sports would carry events from around the world. I remember the side-to-side stretches, the throwing of chalk into the dirt ring. I even remember fans in the stands fanning themselves and the costumes of the officials and the coaches. The ritual is amazing to watch. I know that sumo is filled with tradition, but that is about all I know.

Today, on TV it is all the same except in color. It is just how I remember. Chrissy refuses to watch.

Did Chrissy refuse to watch because you were dressed in Costume??? Uh huh, just what I thought....You, watching Sumo wrestling, in your Sumo uniform, eating cereal.
