Lessons *Not* Learned from Childhood

One lesson that I've managed to never learn: start wearing sunscreen in April.

Every April, without fail, I get out into the sun and get sunburned badly. The circumstances may change: going to a baseball game, going to the beach or pool, or going for a bike ride, but the outcome is always the same. Sunburn. This April was no different, as the long ride last weekend resulted in quite a painful burn. My first bike burn. It has finally faded and begun to peel, but it was quite painful through Wednesday.

Like an idiot, I wasn't wearing sunscreen last weekend. My body reminded me, and I won't forget again this year, but something tells me that there will be a very similar blog entry next April...
