This time of year is usually fraught with
Bloomsday planning, but now that I no longer
live in Chico, I find myself facing the
prospect of a Bloomsday alone.

I didn't get started on creating a Moscow
Bloomsday because I had planned to return
to California on the big day, but now it
looks like here I'll stay.

The nearest Bloomsday event is in Spokane
Washington, 90- miles away where they hold
a Bloomsday marathon. That's right -running
on Bloomsday ...no reading, no singing...
a travesty.
