Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
Yesterday I paid a visit to my dermatologist who took about 30 minute carving out my 13th and 14th basil cell carcinoma. In prior visits the doc at various times relieved me of 3 melanomas, as well as a couple of other unusual things. None of these operations have given me much pain, but they are endless.
It seems that all of the damage that I am reaping at age 65 was caused by me running around Tampa, FL in the 50s-60s taking advantage of fishing, swimming, beaching, biking, hiking, baseball playing and other outdoor kid-appropriate activities. After soaking up the sun for four hazy years in Tallahassee FL at FSU, I took advantage of an opportunity that the US Army was offering to enter something called the infantry. As it turns out, the infantry also spends a good deal of time in the out of doors also.
As a grown-up I always thought of myself as an out of place archaeologist, so I became active for many, many years in avocational archaeology. It turns out the this activity is also out of doors and requires exposure to the sun.
The bottom line is, be careful with your exposure to that Sun thing. If not, you will pay the same price that I am paying.
