"One thing we couldnt fail to notice as we perused
the section devoted to Benedictine Monks is that the average life-style was fairly ... how
shall we put it ... dull: Awake, pray, eat, pray, work, pray, sleep (though we do remember
the childhood truism about all work and no pray making Jack a dull boy!!). What they
obviously needed was a hobby -- and what could be more applicable than flying a kite to
get you closer to the Big G. This line of thought led us to trip the Kite Fantastic,
a huge site that explores the attraction of kite flying in almost obsessional detail. What
to know the difference between a t-spreader and a dynamic bridle? Consult the A-Z dictionary. Check
out the beginners section
for information on getting into the hobby, and there is also a database containing more
than 400 different kite
models. Another section
tells you not only where your nearest kite-shop is, but also gives you a list of local
flying venues and lets you know what the weather will be like when you get there.
Literally, everything you could want to know about kites -- and then some."
