“Here we are again at Monday.”
“What?”
“Monday, again.”
“I can’t imagine you’re surprised by that.”
“Don’t you ever feel like a machine or something?”
“Often. But humans conjured up a system that more or less works, so I show up because, thanks be to God, I work, too.”
“Ha ha. So what’s going on today?”
“You’re interviewing that reincarnation guy to see if he’s believable enough to put on TV.”
“In this climate, sweet cheeks, anything is believable enough. Looks who’s in the White House.”
“I was trying not to think of that until Tuesday. Monday’s enough all by itself. Anyway, the reincarnation guy should be here any minute.”
“You’ve seen him. What do you think?”
“Personally, I think he’s legit. I can’t explain how that could be, but it’s logical that our molecules become part of the universe — earth in particular — when we die. Why shouldn’t the energy that is our experience be stored in those molecules?”
“Is THAT what reincarnation means? No Karma? No nearing Nirvana? Nothing spiritual? That’s pretty dry. Is that his schtick?”
“Yeah. Well you asked.”
“Did you make us coffee?”
“Did I make YOU coffee? What do you think; this is the seventies?”
“Never mind.”
To Be Continued…

Lamont and his pal, Dude, are characters I came up with a few years ago. They have the uncanny ability to remember many of their past incarnations which gives them a unique perspective on life, the universe, and everything.
I sense a smackdown a’ comin’….
If Lamont’s involved, you can be sure a smackdown is imminent.
The illustration conjured a smile that the story continued.
My work here is done. 🙂
😜
Waiting patiently for the appearance of Lamont.
RE-appearance. 😉
I want some magic to come out of this. I need some magic. Especially this morning when I feel particularly stupid.
It’s Lamont. Who can say? He is what he is and what he has been. 🙂
LOL curiousteph. Perfect!
Of course we are just molecules… but we’ll never know what’s next.
Pretty much Lamont’s point. 🙂
[…] Part One is Here. […]

Lamont and Dude are my two favorite characters.
