Lobster

A friend used to say: "tan fat always looks better than white fat".

I'm feeling very pale lately. I used to go tanning several times a week in years past. I also called it the "easy bake oven" or the "electric beach". I know there is high risk of developing melanoma from tanning and that is partly why I stopped.

So since I've been feeling pasty white I decided to get a little color this weekend. I laid by the pool for a short while. Chatted with some neighbors, listened to the iPod and really tried to relax.

Well, I got some color. I just didn't want it to be bright red!!

UGH!!!

Now I'm nursing angry red skin! You'd think I would learn... I'm a few years from the half century mark, I should know better!

My skin is just soaking in the aloe vera. I'm applying lotion because I know that in a few days I will be dry and itchy.

Hope y'all had a great weekend. And remember...

USE SUNSCREEN!!

Use Sunscreen - that's actually a cool song from a few years ago. I see everyone tannng on the beach day in and out, but I'm one of those guys who likes the shade! Luckily I dn't need too tan too much :)

just remember:
Better than being sunburned on your vacation is to be tanned on your weak end.

Awwww, does it hurt to wear clothes? Then take them off! Did you get some good tan lines? You can show us with a new shower vid. Just saying...
