Shaolin Day 5/6



Remember when your parents used to tell you to finish your food cause there were starving kids in China? Well, it's true, and we are those kids. I'm gonna use whatever kung-fu I learn here to mug the first person I see in America with pizza or a cheeseburger. We've been doing the same old, training with the monks, up before dark, the usual. Beau's actually off training with the head-master at the moment, I on the other hand, can't walk one my left leg thanks to Ming's ruthless stretch routine combined with the carelessness of a cleaning lady and my own clumsiness (long, humiliating story). I'll have more to put on here later in the day - gonna try to take the camera into the afternoon session if Jay will let us (we haven't been able to yet). I don't know what this headmaster guy looks like, but I'm betting he's a big dude with a face you could split wood with.
Here's me getting ready to take out a coat rack and a cool bird that's really common here. Anyone know what it's called?

Ez - there are secret Kung Fu schools that are so so secret and esoteric that the young initiates never realize that the Grand Master running the whole show is actually the cleaning lady. You, my little wounded magpie, are lucky to be alive after your first encounter with her. I suggest next time you bow to her in a most humble manner. There are many stories where this has been proven to be true. In fact, I think I have a book on my shelf entitled, "Cleaning Ladies as Monks and Mystics." Hang on..... I'll go fetch it to make sure.

nope! It was "Executives as Monks and Mystics." Sorry....... but still bow to her, OK?

PS-did you cut off the sleeves of your Rheingold tshirt so you could show everyone your new bisceps? I must say, they are quite impressive :)
