At some charity B.S. a few weeks ago with Dominican monks and nuns, one of the seemed-like-Jedi-cosplayers-to-me at my table described having projects outside of divinity studies. He’s helping the priory’s tortoises successfully reproduce, which I gather had not been happening for many years. Incubators, hatchlings, all the rest of that. Oh, and he’s helping with a long-term beer making project. Humanized these fashion victims for me a great deal, hearing that. His personal project though, he said, is making beard lotion, to soften and add luster to one’s beard. Here I’d thought they were proselytizing shock troops and they go and geek out like that, ruining my perfectly good suspicions...
