Hips Higher than Previously Thought

I recently had a realization that my hips are a lot higher up on my body than I thought. My Aunt Cheryl used to tell me that I should wear my pants so they come up to my hips, not saggy and baggy like recent fashions. I always thought she wore her pants very high up, but now I understand that's possibly why pants work, because they fit over the hips. So thanks for the tip, Aunt Cheryl, I finally understand.

I'd like to attribute this seemingly insignificant triumph to the students of the Arao #1 Middle School Judo team and their worn-out, but sensible coach.

Using this 'higher hip' knowledge, all my Judo throws will now be flawless.

Hey Jod-
Yeah, and your mom got a kick out of it too, thank goodness. : )

Would you send your blog address to me again if you're still blogging?
