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.

Today I ordered the Budgiedome business cards. I haven’t had cards in years. I made some up once for my tutoring business. I’ll be picking them on Tuesday. The The Kennedys will be the first ones to get one. They sent me an email today agreeing to play the Budgiedome on Friday night. I always said I was cut out to be in impresario.
Tonight I went to play bridge with Marco. We didn’t do very well, we finished a bit below average in a weaker game than I normally play in. I don’t really mind though. We don’t play together often and this is more like spring training for us. We are preparing to play together in the Life Master Pairs in July. That will probably be the strongest field I will ever have played in. It is the premier event of the first weekend of the Summer North American Bridge Championships. That always sounds more impressive than it is. I assure you I am not a good bridge player. I’ll be one of the worst players in the field.
It is always hard for me to assess my bridge skills. I have a better understanding than most of what the game is about. I really know not only what to do but why. My problem is that my powers of concentration are way below average for a bridge player. I should know every card played and I don’t. That makes me suck but be able to talk a good game. I’d probably make a good bridge teacher.
Marc said that I had a need for constant stimulation. I don’t think that is really true. I like to keep busy but it isn’t a need as much as a substitute. What I really need is someone to talk to. I have plenty of friends but there are some things that I can’t talk about it but I’d like to. They usually aren’t deep and personal things. They are often just offhand remarks. They come to my head and have no place to go. That backs up the whole works.
