Today is the feast of Josephine Bakhita who used to be a sudanese slave, but its also the feast of John of Matha (who may or may not have been a fan of caffe motta, but certainly was not matto except crazy for Christ maybe), if you follow the old medieval calendar so beloved of don Quixote. Oddly, cervantes was ransomed by the trinitarians who ransomed slaves, then wrote a book seemingly mocking chivalric codes. Or was it? You decide.
