So, a news note reminded me of a sister-in-law's recommendation, so I slipped out to Kitestorm '09 ... an icy gathering of joyriders using big kites to whip themselves around on the frozen surface of Lake Champlain. Great fun -- I wish the strings were shorter, as the photos would be more dramatic ... Enjoy!
