I'm sure you've noticed my crimson face in the photos. The sky was cloudy when I set out for the Magic Kingdom Thursday AM. By midday it had cleared and the FLorida sun caught me unprepared. Good thing I had a baseball cap (note the only marginally reddened forehead). The curse of being from the Western Isles.

But wasn't your face just a wee bit red last February, in Chicago?
BTW, thanks for sharing the Cabernet. I don't think I've had beer, wine, and Tequila shots the same night since I was an undergrad.

Yeah. I have a form of rosacea that can (it's not predictable) turn me scarlet in an instant. Heat seems to be the main trigger -- anything from a stuffy room to a hot drink. My sun exposure really set it off.

I have a buddy with that. One drink sometimes is enough to set it off. Until I asked him about, I just thought he became embarrassed real easy.

I can turn scarlet in an instant, from my scalp to my decollete. It can be set off by a hot drink, coffee, strong emotions or nothing at all. It's known as a hot flash! :D

It started happening after I turned 50. Hmmmm. Better check my 'mones.

If Paul embarrassed easily, he would never hang out with US! Especially if we were drinking tequila shots. ;)
