And Happy Thanksgiving for those of you that celebrate it.

If you don't, go ahead and use it as a reason to think of something you're thankful for.

there are no strings on me.

i always liked this character. i suppose this is no way to treat him... but after the way he treated his own father, he deserves such a thing. and in the book - i do believe that he burned his own hands off (i have been corrected, it was his feets. ;-)), though i'm not totally sure. i think that happens at some point after he kills the cricket.

what a tale.

Go fly a kite, you!

I did this last night to just pass the time.

Now that I think about it - I never really could get those kites to fly right. I remember running around with the kite string in a field in New Mexico when I was about 3ft. tall.

At some point the kite took at down turn and smacked into the earth hard, which perhaps wouldn't have broken it, had the damn thing not gotten caught on a barbed wire fence.

Something tragic like that, although the memory escapes me just like the joys of flying the kite did on that day.

I kinda like the quip - "Oh - go fly a kite!" It's a pretty good one and it's not altogether too offensive. It gets the point over just so. Subtle, but minorly effective.
