Two jobs and several years ago...

Start of summer; hot hot sun, monsoon season brings the good stuff. Wind was cranking hard as a typhoon went past the coast.

Got to work to discover classes had been canceled from about 10 onwards. I sat around for a while then thought the hell with it, and slipped out.

Hit the lake for a ripping 30-knot session for a couple of hours, then drove back to work for the last hour before clock-off at 4pm.

Nobody noticed that I'd been gone.

That didn't amaze me so much as nobody noticing that during my afternoon "in the staff room", my complexion went from pasty winter white to traffic-stopping day-glo red... I forgot the sunblock.


I would not rely on this forum for information especially for putting into any mag.

Er.... What? You saying I'm talking crap? Come work in Japan, nobody will notice you either. By choice.

Was a day late for our family holiday as I hadn't been kiting for a month and it was blowing 20-25 today. They drove to the destination yesterday I came up today. It was well worth it and I think I'm a better father after a kite. It was a little awkward when the 3 year old asked why I wasn't driving up with them (the wife took great pleasure in that question).....I was trying to come up with an excuse but I just had to be honest and tell them I needed a kite.


True that a good kite chills you out... so much stress and crap in the 'real world' we all need our blue desert escape to keep our sanity ;)
