The dermatologist told me with that genetic legacy I'm a basal cell waiting to happen (and I've lost track of the relatives who have had one kind of skin cancer or another).

I'm just thankful I used to get bored "tanning" and never spent to much time just lying in the sun -- not that I didn't have more burns than I should have when I was young.
