Yup, I AM a white boy.......

I knew I'd be out in the sun today and thought I'd dressed appropriately. I was headed to the LJ Picnic in Delores Park, down in SF. The sunscreen went on, then I got dressed. Jeans, not shorts. A tank, WITH a long sleeved denim shirt over it. Left my hair loose, until I was there and in the shade and only then did it get tied back. Besides it took almost that long to be fully dry.

I watched the nice looking, bare chested boys lying in the sun, running around playing frisbee, mostly from the safety of the shade of the palm tree grove. I did NOT sit down once in the sun, for fear I might forget myself and stay there too long. I still managed to burn my face. I forgot to wear a hat.

Oddly enough, I commented to a very sexy cub, a man who's naturally a lovely shade of light brown and who's lost most of his hair on top, that it looks very sexy on him, but that I would not have handled going bald at all well, because frankly, I burn. Little did I realize I was doing just that, right thru an SPF 30. Ironically, he did mention, I COULD wear a hat.

I got home after dark. My husband took one look at me as I walked thru the front gate and asked, "why is your face so red?" I'd been feeling somewhat flushed before that and wondered if I was coming down with a fever. It hadn't dawned on me yet, that I'd gotten burnt.

My forehead, nose and cheeks match my hair at the moment. I hurts to smile. I have this sneaking suspicion, my CPAP mask is not going to be much fun to put on tonight.

I've always liked George Carlin's remark that "I don't go out in the sun to try and get a tan - I'm just trying to neutralize the blue!"

I sympathize....
