My favorite local pizza place is Riverside Pizza. Not only is their food good, but they’re the only place I’ve found that have anchovies and green olives as topping choices. I almost never get anchovies but I almost always get green olives.
Maybe I should try an anchovy and green olive pizza.

“Money often costs too much,” Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote, and Benedictine spirituality would surely agree. Not just dishonesty but even the standards of the marketplace are un-Benedictine according to this chapter. Benedictine spirituality develops goods so that people can have them, not in order to make them available only to the highest bidder or to make excessive profits. Money gained in that fashion costs us compassion and community and our role as cocreators of the reign of God. It hollows out our souls and leaves us impoverished of character and deprived of the bounty of largesse. It is Benedictine to develop our gifts and distribute their fruits as widely and broadly as possible so that justice, but not profit, is the principle that impels us.

Somebody asked me recently when I was going to stop calling this the COVID-19 Diary. It’s a good question, and one I’ve considered. COVID is still with us, although it’s not the existential threat it once (or ever?) was. I could stop using the phrase in my posts, but changing the site name and URL is a bit more complicated.
It also raises the question “Do I want to keep doing this?” The answer is “Yes, by all means.” People seem to enjoy it and I enjoy doing it. It’s a small but important part of my daily routine.
That said, the answer to the original question is “At some point when I have the time to think more about how I want to change it and what I want to start calling it.” In the past I’ve considered starting a site called Bandy After Hours, or BAH!, but that seems a bit corny. I can do better.
Meantime, it remains what it is, at least until I get my next booster vaccination.
Stay healthy and safe.
