Introduction

The "Hotel Melanoma" moniker is a metaphor for living with my particular brand of cancer. Except for those lucky few of us deemed "cured", all we cancer survivors are guests of one of the many, many branded hotels in the "Hotel Carcinoma" chain. We can check out any time we like, but we can never leave. Meanwhile, let's be livin' it up; and please support cancer education, prevention, and treatment research.

Another Day On The Beach

I’m heading off to the golf course this morning, where I just know I’ll spend some quality “beach time” trying to get out of sand traps. With sunscreen applied and sporting some sun-protective golf attire, I’ll leave you with a new version of Bonnie Raitt’s “Runaway”…



As I age along,
I wonder what went wrong,
With my tans, in sun that was so strong.
And as I still age on,
I think of the things I've done
Sun-weathered, a-while my skin was young.

I've had scanners miss my brain,
Docs are callin' and make me insane,
Wishin' you were here by me
To join this sunscreen spree
And I wonder--
I wah-wah-wah-wah-wonder,
Why,
Why, why, why, why, why I tanned away,
Yes, and I wonder,
A-where C will stray-ay,
I put my tan away,
Tan, tan, tan, tan, tan way.

I'm a-golfin' in the rain,
Putts aren’t fallin' and I feel the pain,
Wishin' lightning would strike me,
To end this bogey spree
And I wonder--
I wah-wah-wah-wah-wonder,
Why,
Why, why, why, why, why I played today,
Yes, and I wonder,
A-why I still play-ay,
Another sunscreen day,
Sun, sun, sun, sun, sunscreen day
Sun, sun, sun, sun, sunscreen day.
Sun, sun, sun, sun, sunscreen day.
