Seconded. Didn't someone tell me to bring sunscreen to CA? Wasn't that someone...you?

3 hours would turn most people run. Where are you doing all of this tennis stuff? I assume the pool is your nameless brother's...

believe it or not I was wearing SPF 50! I used my bro's tho and I think it was from last year so maybe it wasn't good anymore? I went today and bought a new SPF 50 and didn't burn quite so badly (and didn't stay out so long).

Have been playing tennis w/ my co-workers at Atkins Tennis Center on/near campus, and then yesterday played tennis w/ Marissa in Paris (my town only has one set of courts - ha! lol) do you play? oh, and when I say I "play" tennis, I use the term very loosely lol - we just try and actually get it going back and forth - we're terrible! :P

They do have expiration dates, but it's more that a) they get sweated/towelled off and b) you still can't stay in the sun indefinitely. It just extends the pre-burn time longer than it would be otherwise.

I don't even really "play" tennis that way. My brother used to play actual tennis. I do more ping pong.
