Anyone else fly kites?

Boy, did this thread bring back an almost-forgotten memory of watching my dad make a homemade kite out of sticks, string, newspaper and glue. He made a tail out of rags and we flew it in the field across the street from where I grew up.
Thanks for bringing this memory back! I lost my dad when I was only 7 years old. Amazing what's still stored in the memory bank after all these years.
