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.

Last night I went to see Eric Schwartz and GrooveLily at Makor. Melissa said that she’d get there around 7:30 and I wanted to get there before then so I could buy her ticket. She didn’t have her WFUV member card on her and I did so I could get the discount. I got there at 7 and found Melissa already there and trying to convince the person at the box office that I had left a ticket for her. She’s used to me getting to venues really early. I knew I wouldn’t have to do that last night.
It was unusual for an Eric show in New York as we didn’t see any of our usual crowd. The only person I knew was Ahrre, who runs Coffee with Conscience.
It was mainly a GrooveLily crowd and I didn’t know how they’d take to Eric. They loved him.
It was the CD release party for GrooveLily’s new album so they did lots of new material. As time goes on they become more and more democratic. Valerie, the violinist used to be the clear lead. Then she shared the job with Brandon aka fake Jonathon. Now the drummer sings leads too. They all rock. I bought their new album. I have to email them to get the lyric book though. The manufacturer screwed up and forgot to put them in the jewel case with the CD. They said I could just leave my phone number and they’d read the lyrics to me. I like that option. I now own four CDs that I haven’t listed to yet. I’m going to have to try and listen to at least one today.
I had lots of political and lots of personal things on my mind. I just don’t feel like writing about that now. What is that I hear? A sigh of disappointment or a sigh of relief?
