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.

How is this page blank. I thought I had started writing this. I'm raising procrastinating to a whole new level. How bad is it? I wrote that sentence an hour ago.
I spun my wheels a bit this morning and left the house later than usual. I still got my breakfast but of course the line at the cart was three times as long as usual. It wasn't a big problem as I usually get to my office 20 minutes early. When I got in I had to run off hand out sheets and save the spreadsheet with the grades that I emailed myself. That meant rushing to class and just making it on time.
I am being Prof Conscientious. Two subjects in a row I am not happy with the problems in the book so I made up my own. I found something I missed on one sheet and changed it so next time I teach it, it will be perfect.
Soon after breakfast my stomach started hurting again. I didn't each lunch. I haven't eaten since breakfast. I taught my classes but came straight home. I am considering having peanut butter after I finish writing this. I'm feeling someone better. I am afraid I'm going to have to stay on prednisone till I can afford a better treatment.
Last night I watched the ALCS. I have a confession to make. I rooted for the Yankees. I'm afraid that all my Met fan friends are going to ostracize me. I feel it's wrong but I can't help it. I want the team with the best record to win. I hate the current playoff system more than I hate the Yankees. In the World Series against the hated Phillies it's a no brainer.
Do I have any friends left?
I made Trader Joe's sipping chocolate last night. I don't get it at all. It tastes great, that's not the problem; it's the directions. It says to use mix 3 tablespoons with a 1/3 of a cup of hot milk to make half a cup. It then says to mix 3 tablespoons with ¾ of a cup of milk to make a full cup. That makes no sense whatsoever. Would you use 3 tablespoons no matter how much milk you used?
Then it shouldn't be tablespoons. I made a mug, a cup and a half and used 4 teaspoons and it came out super rich. If had used 3 tablespoons it would have been a sludge. Do any of you make it the way the directions say to?
This entry is short but I have to eat something or die in the attempt.
This entry is short but my stomach isn't hurting and I'm starving. I better eat something.
