And, Jose, is a STAR!! He loves getting stars on his back. Especially, when he doesn't know you are doing it. We had him so covered in stars at Oregon Kitemakers Retreat a couple of years ago that it took him almost an hour to transfer them all to his hat so he could wear them the next day. This all started because Jose was in a video and was published in a math book. Don Mock came to me and asked me if I had any star stickers with me. Of course, I did because 'stars' are what you see when the Tasmanian Devil is finished with you. (That is a whole nother story!) Anyway, I brought out my stars and we had fun patting him on the back as we welcomed him to the retreat. He thought we were the nicest kiters he had ever met. Oh we were soooo bad!!

So, I had to get it started at the AKA welcome reception on Monday night. Jose had a backfull of stars by the time he left the get together. The Taz strikes again!!
