With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.
The good life, as I conceive it, is a happy life. I do not mean that if you are good you will be happy - I mean that if you are happy you will be good.
Too much sanity may be madness and the maddest of all, to see life as it is and not as it should be.
The only way to find the limits of the possible is by going past them into the impossible.

It hasn't been that long since I updated and I haven't done anything since yesterday afternoon when I did. I'm going to have to think of ideas to write about. I could write an entry on Lord of the Rings I've been thinking about it a lot. It is such a part of my life. I saw the films and loved them but the images in my head are all from my head. Nothing can overwrite them. I can see scenes so vividly. Of course there is one image I've worked for years to erase but still have a hint of. When I first read The Hobbit I imagined Bilbo looking like Porky Pig. I don't know why but that is always an undercurrent. In my defense I was 10 or 11 when I first read the Hobbit. I guess the likelihood of my reading LOTR in the near future is increasing. I'm getting excited thinking about seeing my old friends.
I have a lot of exciting things coming up. On this week's agenda are:
- Tuesday – John Platt's On Your Radar with Heather Massey, Madison Violet, and Wendy Colonna.
- Friday – Phil Minissale: Meeting Gene and Isabel for dinner beforehand. I hope that's possible with the snow coming.
- Saturday – RUNA at Concerts at the Crossings near Trenton NJ.
The Red Kennedys II (Red Molly and the Kennedys) is in less than a month. Fun with six of my favorite people, three Mollys, two Kennedys, and one Chris.
Would any of the people that say "Mollies" say "Kennedies?" If not what is your reasoning?
Laurie just wrote me about the CD release show for Red Molly's new album James. I don't think the details have been officially announced so I can't give them here.
Anaïs Mitchell is doing a house concert. I hope I get in. Actually I hope Erika does. I'm going to be her +1. That's the shoe on the other foot. I'll get her new album Hadestown. You want it too. It's her folk opera. Greg Brown plays Hades and Ani DiFranco plays Persephone. Need I say more?
I still have not adjusted to not having outlook to keep my schedule on. I'm using a paper calendar. I know I'm missing things. Maybe I'll switch over to Google Calendar.
The reason I don't have Outlook is that my copy of Office has not be delivered because it was delayed due to a copyright problem. Who knows about this? Did Microsoft steal from somebody?
The New York City schools are closed tomorrow. My school is still officially open. I find it hard to believe they will stick to that. I can get to my campus but no way people will be able to get to Westbury.
I have a lot to do today before On Your Radar. I need to go to Stop 'n' Shop, Trader Joe's, and the Bagel place. I also want to stop at Home Depot and get a shovel for my car. I don't have a walk to shovel but I might still have to shovel my car out. I shouldn't have left them all at my old house. I'm looking for a collapsible one to keep in my car.
I also want to stop at the library to see if there is a book I want to read instead of LOTR. LOTR is comfort food for my soul but it's better that I challenge myself.
