Long sleeves, pants, hat with neck flap, and sunscreen (SPF = bomb proof).  Like an anemic cave-dweller forced from his hole, I sit beneath my umbrella wondering if it is time to tell my teenage daughter to re-lather; of course it is. Needless to say, I take skin cancer pretty seriously.

Years ago, shortly after moving from the South, I was surprised to hear a panel of experts discussing the high rates of skin cancer in New Hampshire, and New England in general.
