OK, guys, you asked for it. Here's your sumo wrestling, performed by two professional wrestlers. This match is on YouTube, so make sure an adult is watching with you. (Parents, close the "Ads by Google" that suddenly appears at the bottom of the screen.) The object is to push the opponent out of the ring or to make a body part other than the soles of the feet touch the ground. Apparently it's OK to grab the "belt thingy" to push and pull. Since it might take only seconds to win a match, there are many matches in a tournament. I hope I get to visit a sumo stable where the wrestlers live in groups and where their food intake, exercise, and practice are closely monitored by coaches.

Ohayo, Mrs. Dar-null! (It is actually afternoon but I don't know the Japenese word for "Good afternoon!" I just have one thing to say - if they are monitoring the Sumo wrestlers food intake and exercise, they are not doing a very good job!! I miss you, but hope you are having a marvelous time! Love, KK
