This afternoon Sarah and I went out to a birthday party at the Lang residence. The wind was just about perfect, and we flew kites. I had three kites up. Actually, various small kids, most of whom I didn't know, were flying two of my kites at any given time. One of them will likely never recover from the experience. ;-)
My big kite, which has been out of commission with a broken back for more than a year, got to fly today, and I got it pretty high up. There was hardly any wind at the ground, but up high it was tugging fairly good. It was a lot of fun. I wish I'd gotten around to fixing it earlier.
At the end of the evening, the ENORMOUS pink full moon rushed up over the horizon just as the sun was setting on the opposite side of the world, and it was absolutely gorgeous.

The moon was, indeed, very awesome looking as it rose like the Great Pumpkin in the sky...
We need to watch JVTV sometime. Do you have a copy of it? My original is missing in action at my mother's house and the used one I bought to replace it is just a horrible copy with wrinkles and splices all throughout.
Posted by: phydeaux on November 10, 2003 08:31 PMMy sled kite was being flown by a few little people who didn't actually know how to fly a kite, and so ran frantically back and forth dragging it. In the process, most of the lines broke. I'm going to try to retie them, but I'm not sure how easy that will be.
