Jujitsu

            I went out last night. I can’t be a hermit all the time. I like going to a bar that a friend of mine manages. He and I have good laughs together. He’s learning Jujitsu so there’s a lot of hand movements and jabbing and poking as we talk. I like to know what he’s learning and he’s nice enough to show it to me. But I find myself on the defensive while talking to him. I’m constantly avoiding his hand movements. I have to watch his every move. It’s a little unsettling. Last night he showed me how to dislocate somebody’s shoulder. He grabbed hold of my arm and stepped through an opening and twisted up. I stopped him before I felt any pain. I got the gist of it. I found myself in an awkward position. My friend was holding my forearm  and my shoulder was nearly touching my ear.
