Uh ... both of 'em. Gwynne - Yes, I definitely will do that post. Or maybe a few of them. A kite becomes a hang glider, I think, just after the point at which you should have let go, but chose to hang on. Man ... I'm going to have to save my pennies, here. All this talk is really making me want one of the big ones. And its springtime - season of good winds.... Thanks for looking after the place while I was at work, sweetie. Uh … both of ‘em.

I cannot <i>imagine</i> eating it raw. Ick! But then, I'm not a sushi eater either. At what point does a kite become a hang-glider?

He had this passion long before we moved into this house, but now when he toys with the idea of getting a really big one he can’t say “There’s no good place to fly it.” That’s a total of 18 acres behind us. It’s not ours to pay taxes on or mow, but it’s there for the using. And because it’s a long straight shot do we *ever* get the wind.

Kite flying is a gentle reminder of spring breezes on lazy afternoons…that, and attempted decapitation.

I'm starting a list of words now. When you eat cooked eel, how long is it until you stop tasting it? That was my problem with the raw eel. I could still taste it for hours afterwards.

Might not want to fly 'em, but they're amazingly powerful. Actually, it turns out that the *wind* is amazingly powerful, you just have to catch it right. The big one in the catalog I just got requires a signed disclaimer before they'll ship it to you. Biggest size is 12'7" x 4'6", and it comes with 200-lb test lines (four of them!). They can be dangerous, I understand. :-) My current "big" kite is only about 8' across, and dart-shaped. Oh, I don’t think you’d mind *seeing* those kites.

As you may have noticed, I have a tendancy towards #21 as well, and like you, feel awful if people take it the wrong way. This is is a real risk in blogging since you can't hear the tone, see the smile, etc. Hence my overuse of the ;-) emoticon. #27 - terminology can be a big turn off for a lot of people; it was a hurdle for me as well. #29/30 - Ditto (and I <i>have</i> been outside of our country and seen how poorer nations live; it makes me feel guilty for being born in America. I think every American child should see and experience the reality of living in a third world country before the age of 10). #39 - I have eaten cooked eel. It is delicious. :-) #49/50 - That is awesome!! Another good list.
