Off to Portland OR today. Missing my normal
Bloomsday activities but I send best wishes
to all Joyce fans who will be celebrating
today.

The one connection I'll have to Bloomsday
today is that I plan on seeing Irish fiddler
Kevin Burke this evening. Mr. Burke, on his
CD Up Close, does a flawless version of
Stack of Barley, the only tune mentioned
(that I know of) in Ulysses.
