Too Much of a Good Thing
Turns out we fell prey to the oldest trick in the book on the 4th.
The old (imagine Peter Sellers as Inspector Jacques Clouseau) "it's-so-nice-out-you-don't-notice-you've-spent-all-day-in-the-sun ploy."
Dawnise got pretty toasted - the hazards of her Polish heritage, and I managed to get some pink on my face that faded into tan in less than twelve hours (I'm still trying to figure out where the Mediterranean complexion comes from out of my gene pool of northern european descent).
Anyway - she was pretty miserable yesterday, a bit better today, but still not exactly comfortable.
As Kurt Vonnegut (never) said: "Wear Sunscreen."
The evening on the 4th was great. We went to Edmond's apartment in Seattle, on the 20th floor with windows facing the space needle, and watched two fireworks displays: one over lake union, and the other being launched from a barge in the sound. Dinner was excellent, as was the company.
