Desert Blues
I went to the dermatologist yesterday and got carved up.
I'm to return in ten days so they can remove the stitches.
As the numbing wore off, I mentioned this to a friend who lives in New Mexico. He'd just gone through a similar experience.
Both of us grew up in the days when sunblock was unheard of and suntans were considered healthy.
Fortunately, I am now in the stage of life where a Panama hat, a white linen suit, and alligator shoes may be appropriately eccentric.
As if I'm not eccentric enough.
