Re: [Rikishi News]Ganyu marries

[Ken Crouch <ken.crouch@att.net>]

Hmmm....  Although Ganyu 's last performance (3-12) will drop him to a
level where he could normally do well, it has been my observation that
newlyweds seem to do poorly their first time out after tying the knot.  I
don't have an explanation for this.  In fact, the statistics may not
actually support my observation, but let's see how the Rock Man does in
January.

I just returned from 8 days in Canada -- Toronto and Saint John, NB.  I
met Joe Kuroda and Bob Reimer for a very nice dinner in Toronto.  It was
great to talk sumo with fellow cyber-rikishi.  The mighty Kintaro is
having some difficulty getting around these last few weeks, as I have a
cast on my left leg (just like Wakanosato... ugghh!).  My story is I broke
it during a "full contact curling" contest.  You should have seen the
other guys.  :-)
