A Quick Story
Doorways in Japan are of many heights.Most are fine, for a 6'0" person (for two 6'0" people, actually), but after going through dozens with no problem, there will suddenly be one that is 5'10". This is particularly difficult in a dwelling where rooms have been added on, like some of the places we stayed.
As a result, for the first week or so, I whacked my head quite often. Three or four times a day.
"Stop doing that!" Eli 22.2 said, laughing. He almost never hit his head. I almost never stopped hitting mine. This was the third time I'd hit my head on this particular doorway in one day.
"Someday, when I'm dead, and the doctors find evidence of CTE," I said, "they'll ask you if I played professional football, and you can just say, 'No, but he did go to Japan.' "
