We never used sunscreen back then. I'm surprised I don't have skin cancer and wrinkles by now. But I guess that can be explained by my years as a teenage goth. Hissss! The sun! It burns!!!
today was the only day we really did nothing. we sunbathed, napped and had a few cocktails. most relaxed i've been in a long time.
I hesitated to post this image, and might not leave it here long because I don't claim it to be a thing of beauty, although taking it was sorta fun. But there are actually some rather loose religious overtones to it. This was taken late Sunday afternoon, April 2, shortly after the LDS Church's General Conference ended. I was on the phone, participating in the Madsen family's traditional post-Conference wrapup, mostly listening to everyone else's input, but injecting a few comments of my own as well. (They live in Provo, Utah.) I wanted to take a picture of something, just as I did after the last two Conferences, and this time I ended up deciding to capture my feet dangling in the swimming pool. So I took this while holding the telephone to my ear and listening to my friends relate their impressions of Conference. (That pool water felt really good, by the way!)
Although I was not consciously trying to emulate anyone else's efforts when I did this, I think I might subconsciously have been influenced by romanlily, who did a far better job of it than I did, in no small part because she obviously had much better material to work with. And so, for whatever it's worth, I dedicate this image to her.
