Reincarnation

I'd just as soon not be reincarnated.

As a person, bug, bird - even a pampered pooch or cuddled kitty.

When my time is up, I want to have learned everything I need in this go 'round, so I can just recline on a puffy Tempur-Pedic cloud, drink chocolate milkshakes without gaining weight, and hold the Universal Remote Control.

I'll click on whatever I want to see - like what's happening on Mars. Or Venus. Another galaxy. Brazil at Carnivale!

I could sing and dance with the angels.

Welcome all the loving pets as they bounce across the Rainbow Bridge with treats and extra special snuggles.

Enjoy a sumptuous dinner and extended conversation with Eleanor Roosevelt, Mahatma Ghandi, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Sojourner Truth, Walt Whitman, Susan B. Anthony, Henry David Thoreau, Martin Luther King Jr., Lao Tzu, Stella Adler and Abraham Lincoln- with music provided by Johann Strauss Jr. and Louis Armstrong.

OK, back to work on terra firma. Still so much to learn!

Meanwhile, I'm singing "It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year" and "You Raise Me Up" next month at the annual Christmas concert at which I performed last year with my singing coach Nedra Gaskill and several other vocalists.

It takes place the day after the actors' reading of my comedy feature script Nothing But The Truth, so there won't be much time to rehearse!
