today with my feet dangling in the pool, sipping one of the heavenly brews, watching the Gators demolish the Tennessee Volunteers [52-20]…. a beautiful day, about 90 degrees, bright sunshine, with not a golfer in sight…. that beautiful Florida sunshine ablaze.
A thought on reincarnation: If ever I have the opportunity for a second life, I want it to be as a dermatologist, a dermatologist with my Practice located in Florida. It is not that I am so much interested in doctoring as it is the opportunity to make so much money with such a simple task. Some of you may know the task to which I refer …freezing-off suspected non-cancerous lesions.
Having recently returned from my semi-yearly body/skin inspection I bear witness to the lucrative trade of lesion removal. If you have never experienced this ritual, it is accomplished by your skin doctor pointing a spray can (similar to an aerosol of paint, hairspray, etc.) containing some liquefied and pressurized gas (hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, or other gas) at a suspect blemish on your body and depressing the applicator button. A quick squirt and presto, the blemish is atomized.
In my last trip, I was the recipient of ten such applications. Here in Florida, each emission entails a twenty-five dollar charge…. ten squirts, $250.00 is transferred from my account to the good doctor’s. Since I am freckled about my body, I must be vigilant to ensure that I don’t get one (or several) of the thousands of the little pigmentations turned into a $25.00X medical treatment fee. That little can is a money tree. Consequently, my lust for reincarnation as a skin doctor.
If my wish is granted, I’ll limit myself to just the blemish removal by freezing procedure…. and of course a second lifetime.

make a shrewd investment now…leave it to your next-life self in your will
by the time you’ve lived this life, moved on, come back, and need to pay for college/med school, you should have a good start.
going to invent the time machine?
I looked like a racoon for years, the ski googles protected my eyes but not my face.
But I have to say, what a small ambition for your next reincarnation!
If you are going to embrace the concept, I urge you to fully embrace it.
You will come to understand (perhaps) that COMFORT is the last thing to be desired within the milieu of progress along the wheel of life.
Sorry if that is too deep!
…while I was still alive.
is pretty sweet.
If you think about it (assuming that reincarnation is true), the rough mass of life on the earth, very little of it is human. So the straight statistical odds of being human are minuscule.
but i want to come back as a dog with really good humans
now that’s the life for me…

In the morning paper, I learned that the score was Florida 59, Tennessee 20. I missed the last touchdown.
