Micah 6:8
Genesis 37:3
Yes, your life matters.
We all are still sheltering in place, but I'm here to keep you sane and entertained.
One could hardly ask for much more than that, now could one?
Today is quite a day for lovers of ice cream and its Italian cousin, gelato. It's National Spumoni Day! While many Americans think of spumoni as being synonymous with Neapolitan ice cream, in fact Neapolitan is more a subset of spumoni, modified to accommodate the American palate (and to be cheaper than traditional spumoni, which is a series of layers of gelato interspersed with fruit, sometimes with the gelato mixed with whipped cream to get even foamier (spuma = foam!). Still, multi-colored ice cream/gelato is the way to go today.
Interestingly, today is also Poets Day. In order to go all out and combine both of these celebrations, how about a poem about spumoni? It's a great word, after all, and let's give it a shot in terza rima, shall we? Signor Alighieri would be proud, no doubt.
Keep Calm and Stay Away.
I'll be back tomorrow.
