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.
I enjoy paying taxes. With them I buy civilization.

It’s seems that I’m a prophet, I should start my own religion. Before the bridge game started last night Roy and I watched Jeopardy at the club. It was kids Jeopardy and while I was getting a snack they announced that the final Jeopardy category was animals. When Roy told me that I thought for a second and said the question was going to be Panda. When they actually revealed the answer it was, “What the Germans call a Bambusbar?” As you might be able to figure out if you know that pandas only eat bamboo the answer was panda. That was the high point of the night. We actually did pretty well at bridge too, we had a 55% game. I try very hard to resist discussing the play of my opponents. It isn’t considered polite to do so. On one hand one of my opponents made a really glaring error that let me make an impossible slam. I said nothing and just started playing the next hand. They wouldn’t stop discussing with each other what went wrong the hand before. I finally had to let them out of their misery and tell them.
I was talking to Leah the other night and she teased me about something. I threatened to do something and she said, “No you won’t, you are too easygoing.” I thought this was pretty funny. I always think of myself as high strung. I’ve been known to fly off the handle. It’s just that Leah never does anything that would really get me mad so she’s never seen it. She’s always afraid she’s being annoying and she never is. She’s a great friend. I miss seeing her every week.
