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.
I tell of my day-to-day experiences in a funky Japanese town from my American viewpoint. This blog could also be called 'Bizarro World', 'Notes From Kyushu, a Smaller Island', or 'Teaching English in Japan: Smash Your Ego in 10 Easy Lessons."

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?
You're hip. (Ugggh.)
