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 my health concerns switched from my mother to myself. It started with some tightness in my stomach and got progressively worse. I was at the Met game and was OK as long as I sat down but each time I got up it hurt. When I got home it got so bad I couldn’t sit at the computer. I went to bed and tried to talk to Lena on the phone and found that I couldn’t. Finally I turned off the lights and put on the TV and hoped that it would pass. Sometime while watching The Manchurian Candidate it did. It was quite an unpleasant night.
As for the Met game; It was not the best. The Mets started Jose Lima, a great guy in the clubhouse but a terrible pitcher on the mound. Alan, Larry and I all predicted the Mets would lose; we were all right. The final score was 7-3. Lima gave up a grand slam home run to the opposing pitcher Dontrelle Willis.
My mother still isn’t eating but we did go out yesterday. I took her to Little Bay Park by the Throgs Neck Bridge. We took a fairly long walk. For the first time we walked the neighborhood on the west side of the bridge. I’ve never been there before. There are some really beautiful homes there. On the walk back I decided to get some exercise. I pushed my mother’s wheelchair very quickly. We were passing everyone. I then made my mother walk herself. She said she couldn’t but she did when I pushed her. That is what I have to do.
It is a beautiful day today. I’ll have to take my mother out for another walk. I wish I could think of someplace new to take her. I’d like to go to the Lemon Ice King of Corona but that is pretty close to Shea Stadium and the Mets are playing a double header today so traffic could be bad. Maybe we’ll go there between games.
My mother still resists drinking anything. I’m going to try and make her fresh lemonade. I don’t have a juicer, do you think I can just squeeze the lemons by hand or should I run out and buy one. Maybe I’ll look to see if we have a juicer hidden somewhere in the house.
I was disappointed that only one of you read the NYS Court of Appeals decision on same-sex marriage. You really should at least read Justice Kaye’s dissent on page 43. I can’t copy and paste it since it is a pdf file. So you will just have to follow this link and read the decision now.
