Where's the sun? I want the sun. I'm tired of this "June/July" gloom. There is nothing like California sun.

Stephanie, I love this post. It brings back summer memories of sunbathing at the Jersey shore with my sisters with tin-foil covered shirt cardboard under our chins to get stronger rays beamed on our faces. My sister's friend used to say, "burn me, you mother sun!" Although I have dark hair and eyes, I have fair skin and burn easily and had many blistering burns that would give way to tan. I was going for that slightly nauseated feeling, when even a summer blanket was painful. I tell myself that we still had an ozone layer in those days so maybe I won't get melanoma. Thanks for this. Stacey

Thank you so much, Stacey. (I always wanted one of those tin foil things but didn't know where to get one; I guess I could have made one!)

Loved this post, Stephanie -- it brought back many memories of my own So. CA sunscreen-free "beach bakes" back in the day...

I just heard another story yesterday of someone's cousin where the melanoma ate through the forehead into the brain! A new horror film motif, I think. We just redid our sundeck at our house but I am adding a large umbrella.

Your blog is specific,I've learnt a lot from you. Many thanks,welcome to our website http://www.supras.cc/.

on when I
left the house
for the pleasure
of coming back
ten hours later
to the greatness
