And just like that, Sumo’s over. Boo…

No, this has nothing to do with sumo, but it’s hilarious and just more proof that Medieval monks were just as zany as we are today.

*Sigh*

There was a lot of upset, though. Those whom they call the “rank-and-filers” showed up and put the yorikiri (that would be ‘frontal force out’) to the ozeki and former ozeki. Ura, our favorite, finally got a kachi koshi (more wins than losses) so we were quite pleased. It only lasts for two weeks, at least the tournament. One of these days I’m going to get to Japan and be able to spend all day watching the tournament in person.

But I digress… and on to other musings.

I’m actually interested in YOU. I want to know who my blog readers are.

Did you reach this blog on a recommendation from WordPress?

Did you find my books and work your way back to this site?*

Was it by accident? Curiosity?

I have plug-ins that give me some information, but not the whole picture of course (God forbid the day when the machines can ascribe our motives for why we humans do things the way we do).

So if you’re willing, let me know how you discovered my blog, and you can tell me what you think. I only ask that in your honesty to be tactful and not let loose with pure vitriol. Thanks!
