Today is "Go Fly a Kite Day" which seems very appropriated for the middle of April. I have never been a great kite flyer myself although I've had a few successful flights, but my best kite flying memories are watching my grandchildren. We had a large, fairly flat back yard with few trees, an excellent space for flying kites. The grandkids weren't always wildly successful with their kites either, but they certainly had a lot of fun, and burned off a lot of energy, running back and forth across the yard, getting and keeping their kites in the air. Of course it's impossible to think of flying kites without remembering the closing scene of 'Mary Poppins' and that immortal song "Let's Go Fly a Kite." I know you remember it. "Let's go fly a kite, up to the highest height. Oh, let's go fly a kite." Now that I've planted that tune in your mind, my job is done here. Good Night.
