this little life of mine

I'm not sure exactly what year this was taken, but it was sometime in the early- to mid-80s when I was in high school.  I was forever trying to get a nice, even tan, but never quite managed it (outside a tanning bed). I remember many summer days spent out on this deck armed with baby oil and a spray bottle, and usually just ended up sunburned while all my friends were a beautiful golden brown.
