Box kite frame is a go!

I went to the hardware store on the way home this afternoon to pick up some dowels. A little time spent lashing 'em together (and cheating with the occasional dab of hot glue) later, and I've made a kite frame. This is the handiest I've felt in weeks.

Charlie the cat has been mistaking it for his favorite household appliance, the drying rack, and trying the same things with it (namely, sitting on top of it) that usually bust the drying rack. You are not getting your little paws all over this, Charlie, I swear!

Also, please excuse the Photobooth pictures. John just got home and I don't have the heart to make him photograph my dowel-and-twine project right now. (What am I, five?)
