Drunken Master

Bud's learning how to be a drunken master.

Don't worry, it's a kung fu style.  Essentially, the fighter stumbles around seemingly drunk to confuse his or her opponent, all the while maintaining their strength, power, and focus.  Apparently, it's actually one of the hardest styles because it requires so much control.  See Jackie Chan's movie, Drunken Master, for great examples.  One of the older boys at Buddy's academy is learning the style and Bud watched entranced on Saturday.  So he's been practicing at home, even though he isn't quite sure what "drunk" is.  So I gave him a suggestion:  spin around the room until you're dizzy and then try to do your form.  He loves this!  And it does resemble the style.

While he spins and kicks out of control, I've been making smoothies on my new Ninja blender--gotta love the name!   It's got close to the power of a VitaMix but at 1/6th the cost.  So far, everyone likes my new Mango Smoothie best.

And that's a good kind of drunk.
