Sparring time!

Man, it's been way too long since I've been to a sparring class, and how I miss it. What a great time! Even though I feel I attack in slow motion, it's just something about moving around and dodging, weaving, and attacking that just makes for a manly day. A cool thing happened to me today. One of the parents of a kids in the sparring class, told his son he was going across the street for a little while. I, in my usually joking matter, said "I'll take a pineapple surf" which is my favorite drink from Smoothie King. Even though he know I was just making a joke, he came back with a pineapple surf, which his son presented to me. That kind of generosity knocks my socks off, and that smoothie felt so good going down after a sparring class. Thank you to the sir that bought that. It made my day.
