Dim Sum ritual

Grace had friends up from New York which meant.. dim sum time. Me and Noah took the T while the rest took the car. While walking through the Chinatown park we ran into Zhou Suk, who plays gong for our lion dance tea, and also Si Mo, my Sifu's wife. We got there real early so finding a parking space and finding a table was easy. I think the key is to do Dim Sum while most people are still in Church. Dim Sum is an after Church ritual for a lot of families. A lot of families just do the dim sum, but tend to wake up later on Sunday. Sometimes I see a whole table full of Kung Fu people from other schools in work out gear. So I guess for them it's a post workout ritual.
That's actually a pretty good idea. I ended up taking Jonah to the Kung Fu school after he started getting bored. And of course after you have dim summed, your not going to be doing much working out.
But it would be a cool idea (when my kids are older) to get together with some Kung Fu people and do a rigorous hour or two of Kung Fu. Maybe just a regular class at the school starting with meditation and stretching. It could start as early as 6am or 7am. That's what the Yoga people like to do right? Actually even earlier.
Or maybe you could even just do a 45 minute thing in the park where I ran into people. Some mein lei jum (tai chi) in the park. Followed by external forms after the warm up. Or maybe even start it off with basics. Have an actual class or weekly group. And then  walk over to eat Dim Sum.
Right now it's a little much because Noah goes to Chinatown everyday for school and we like to take advantage of our home toys and JP's parks. But when he starts going to a school elsewhere and Chinatown becomes a novelty, this would be a good little weekly ritual.
