Vamos a la PLAYA!!!!

We are off on vacation to the Beach.  Wilmington NC.  We've never been to Wilmington, but it is bound to be fun.  Normally a vacation would have nothing to do with a blog about a child, but this one has EVERYTHING to do about the child. 

My wife buys a special sunscreen for me.  It is little kid 50 SPF.  That is because my skin is the shade of Casper the friendly ghost.  I'm like a white highlighter.  I am clear.  Get the point here... I"M WHITE.

I go out to the beach for a few days and no real issues with sunburn.  Then Monday afternoon occurred.  I put on my liquid t-shirt and go out into the sun.  I am goofing off trying to boogie board, which I am unsuccessful at.  I wind up rolling under most of the waves and not impressing people with my deft boogie skills.

I go back inside and shower to head for lunch.  I am hot but not burned.  SO I THINK.  We make it back from lunch and my back is warm.  It is about the room temperature of the inside of a volcano.  Small countries are calling me a new source of heat for the poor.  I'M BURNING.

It looks painful and I assure you it is.  My wife kind of rolls her eyes and makes a very astute comment. I hope the child does not have your skin.

CORRECT!

Small unborn baby Jimmerson.  This is an open message to you.  DO NOT LISTEN TO MY SKIN GENES.  They are BAAAAAAAAD.  They are full of pasty pail fun, and they will make you burn later in life.  You might want to get a little South American while your in the womb.  Don't take everything from your mom, but take the skin.  She has perma-tan.  I have perma-burn.  Peruvian genes are better than Swedish genes in this case.  There I said it.

OK so the story ends that my back eventually returns to normal, and is no longer the temperature of the sun.  I am peeling like an onion.  It itches like crazy, but I'm OK now.  LISTEN TO ME CHILD... ACT NOW BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!

Vacation went great and we got away from work which was the ultimate goal.  I am selling the thermal heat off my back at $0.10 a therm so with rising fuel costs some of you might want to sign a contract with me.  I have better rates that Duke Energy.
