CONSOLATION TWENTY-EIGHT: POKER Always a favorite hobby, poker has become something more to me now that I'm in my late seventies. It's the one competitive activity I can still do with men and women a third my age. Can't do it in sports -- in golf, the only sport I can still play without tearing myself apart, I have to use the senior tees. Can't do it professionally -- I'm retired from all that. Only in poker can I still sit down with 20-, 30-, 40-, 50-,…See More

Heather Spoonheim commented on richard vitzthum's blog post 'Consolations of Atheism'"There is not benefit to the author in pasting a new blog in an old blog file - other than inheriting irrelevant comments. Even just editing a blog to renew the date offers no positive - unless you want to make it look as though you…"

SteveInCO commented on richard vitzthum's blog post 'Consolations of Atheism'"Diane? With the date changed?
Hmmm... I should experiment on one of mine."
Diane commented on richard vitzthum's blog post 'Consolations of Atheism'"I think if the original poster edits the post and saves it, it gets re-posted with the previous comments intact. "

- Hello Richard, after receiving your request, I suspiciously went first to your blog and after reading your "consolations" I am super impressed at how you've somehow stolen my thoughts and rearranged them, added some neat data, organized the whole and gave it a terrific invitingly humanistic tone so that I can now explain confidently and without apology why I am an atheist. Terrific writing and thinking, Richard!
