Well, whatever the title says, I am, but I’m not just any ordinary crustacean…I am a lobster. (This is in reference to a 2nd season “Friends” episode…214 to be exact, but uh yea) But actually, the reason why I say I’m a lobster is because I’m really sunburned right now. Here’s the proof, if you so insist. Nuff about that now.
It was Parent’s Weekend up in College Station, and it was “grood.” I won’t go into too much detail, but all I know is:
1)Band concert was good
2) My mom still has her favorite salad and favorite restaurant in College Station
3) Brandon’s family makes me feel like one of their own
4) My mom can embarrass me SO much sometimes, but in a way that I love she’s like that (e.g. “running” into a curb and causing a traffic disturbance, wanting to learn all the words to our fight song,etc.) She is a lovable 53? year old kid at heart, and I LOVE it.
5) I also got free dinner from one of my friend’s parents tonight at Cheddar’s. score! In fact, I think I’m going to be with her alot next weekend because we are both science nerds, and it’s her birthday on Friday. how awesome is that…:)
6) John is and will always be the best stepdad in the whole wide world, and I know that my dad would love he is the one that my mom “chose,” not only because he is good to me,…he is too perfect to my mom as well. It’s just nice sometimes how things work out like that.
Yea, I think that’s it for now, but I go with peace and love, spreading it throughout the world.

Posted by Courtney at April 17, 2004 09:43 PMI'd rather be correcting your grammar or diction, but I feel I need to say something about your lobsterhood. It's not a laughing matter! Here's what the American Association of Dermatology has to say:
Skin cancer is the most prevalent of all cancers. It is estimated that more than one million Americans develop skin cancer every year.
Sun avoidance is the best defense against skin cancer. Over exposure to sunlight (including tanning) is the main cause of skin cancer especially when it results in sunburn and blistering.
That info and more can be found at: http://www.aad.org/pamphlets/skincan.html.
If there are any genetic linkages, I don't know. I do know that you have a 1st cousin once removed who has lost both ears and one arm to untreated melanoma.
When I was a kid, they didn't have sunscreen. I spent most of my adolescence trying to get a tan, in the process picking up quite a few sunburns. (I have had a basal cell carsino removed from my cheek a couple of years ago, probably a result of my misspent youth.) These days, there is no excuse to be getting a sunburn like you have, Courtney.
Please use sunscreen.
Posted by: Uncle Pat on April 18, 2004 09:08 AMNot like this is of any excuse, but we were planning on putting on sunblock. I have some in my room, but we didn't have enough time to get it. This is also the only time in a whole year that I got sunburned even though I worked at a camp this summer where we were in the sun (may-august) about 8 hours a day, in the heat of the day. Not one...not one.
Posted by: Courtney on April 18, 2004 10:17 AMCourtney, you had a golden opportunity to pick up my dad there! I myself have never heard of a "carsino", although I am familiar with the term "carcinoma".
And you know where good intentions lead . . .
Posted by: Elizabeth on April 18, 2004 08:33 PMCourtney, it is a wise man (or woman) who gives wise advice. In the last six months or so, John has had 10-15 spots of cancer removed from his head and face. I bug him all the time about wearing sunblock. As you know, he can exhibit a fairly strong stubborn streak; please don't be like your stepdad! Listen to you uncle, and your mom, WEAR SUNBLOCK.
Posted by: Kathleen on April 19, 2004 04:33 PMThat was too sweet what you wrote about John. I'll make sure he gets on and reads it for himself.
Posted by: Kathleen on April 19, 2004 04:35 PMActually, I think Pat had memories of visiting the "casinos" of Las Vegas. That can be rather fatal as well.
