The only thing I really like about summer is getting tan and
sitting by the ocean, reading. This
summer I’ve been reading in my living room, no water in sight.
Now I know this is a good thing. I know the sun is bad for you. I know that when I am at the beach, I should
slather on high-numbered sunblock and even then, sit under an umbrella with a
hat on. But I don’t. Having some color makes me feel and look
better.
This summer I am the same color I am in mid-winter. I have not been to a beach or a pool since my
four-day trip to the Cape over July 4th. I listen with envy to my friends’ trips to
the Hamptons, Costa Rica, France, Capri and even the Galapagos. I’ve gone nowhere.
But I am going back to the Cape next week where I'll try to cram a
season of sun into a few days.
