She has freckles, too, on her belly. I think it’s a pit bull thing. In Japan where I come from, I grew up with women, like my mother, who were very protective of their skins. They would walk outside with a parasol on a hot summer day. But at the same time, I had friends who were avid skiers and surfers who didn’t care much about getting tanned.

I’d be under the sun hours and hours working in the garden planting flowers. It’s safe and don’t worry. One friend just said lately that she is jealou of my tan! The doctor still said that I need more Vitamin D!

It has been a very long time since anyone I knew tanned. Too dangerous. Cover up, cover up, cover up — black, white and everyone in between. Maybe those Asian elders knew something we didn’t?
