More Important than Kiting
Sometimes the winds are a perfect strength, nearly dead onshore, warm weather and optimal kiting conditions. One of those days where you even happen
to have the day off of work... and then something more important than kiting comes along.

I read the title and was like Pff. What could be more important? But yeah, you nailed it with grandkids. I'm still kneedeep in round 1 with my own
kids so I get it that sometimes kiting can't rise high enough on the list to load up the car that day.
Congrats!

grandparents. Time does go by fast. Hope it will be longer than that though. One note to share my 76year old grandma has had the pleasure of
babysitting her great great grandson. She still loves getting on the floor and playing with them.

Congrats, man. I've given my parents and in-laws a few days like that just recently. Babies are awesome... even when they are yours.
My kids (and wife) and my job are the only things that keep me out of the field.
I'm going to take a nap now
