I became insane with long intervals of horrible sanity.
The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all.
Many people would sooner die than think; In fact, they do so
What I have been telling you, from alpha to omega, what is the one great thing the sigil taught me — that everything in life is miraculous. For the sigil taught me that it rests within the power of each of us to awaken at will from a dragging nightmare of life made up of unimportant tasks and tedious useless little habits, to see life as it really is, and to rejoice in its exquisite wonderfulness. If the sigil were proved to be the top of a tomato-can, it would not alter that big fact, nor my fixed faith. No Harrowby, the common names we call things by do not matter — except to show how very dull we are ...

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.
I signed the Pro-Truth Pledge:
please hold me accountable.
