#weightclass

Because I just met a former bodyguard for Mohammad Ali.

You never know who is standing next to you or what their life story is. We were chatting about our kids hitting potholes and then hunting and eating dear. We both have relatives in TN. Then - we started talking about Sumo and that led him to tell me about Ali.

How we got there. He was talking about wanting to hike the Appalachian Trail, but - we live in FL. So - we don't have the butt muscles to do hill and mountain hiking. We just live in a really really really flat area. So I told him how my family got in shape for our Japan trip. Hubby, son and I would run up and down a mound at a nearby park. And we'd go up and down the steps at a look out tower to get our butt muscles in shape to actually be fine going up and down hills and steps in Japan. We were strong enough to easily get up 4 flights of stairs. I was nursing a hip injury and was still able to do it easily.

Why was I in Japan - to see a sumo tournament. It was a bucket list thing. So - he and I start talking Sumo. He's totally interested. Asking great questions. He's shocked - there is no weight class in Sumo. I was telling him about a small guy who can throw the big boys. He was shocked it turns out - because he was into boxing and was Ali's bodyguard for several years and obviously - boxing has weight classes.

for the deathdetermineslife ask game!!!

Spy

🍓 - I definitely can't see him not being a Spy, but I could see him outside of the mercenary career. Though I think he would also really enjoy acting, due to having at least SOME training in it, and evidently being quite good.

🥝 - I think Spy would like to teach Mara first before he lets her do any kind of makeup on him. I've always thought he's the one that teaches her how to do it, and enjoys doing it on her. It would take awhile, and he'd have to get comfortable with her seeing his face, but eventually he'd be willing to.

🍑 - He strikes me as someone who's impossible to buy for. While Spy is rich, he's also somewhat practical about what he buys. Money is still an object to him, he cares about flaunting his wealth but he's not reckless about it. For these same reasons, he vastly prefers giving gifts over receiving them. He believes no one could understand him well enough to know what he wanted anyways, and he knows everyone better than they know themselves.

Heavy

🍓 - I think he'd still definitely be in a military or athletic based career. He has a strong interest in weaponry. I could also see him doing something with literature, as he has a PhD in it, I think he'd enjoy teaching Russian literature on a small scale.

🥝 - It's definitely not something he's opposed to. He knows nothing about makeup at all, but he enjoys the closeness and intimacy! I think he'd let Mara or Spy do make up on him, maybe that's even how Spy would become comfortable letting Mara do it on him, after watching her do it on Misha.
