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.

More like the epitome of the classiest of gentlemen.
