Just a note about the new Comments feature: as reader Andrew H. has cleverly figured out, you don't have to go through all the rigamarole of signing up for a screenname to post a comment, there is a link to post anonymously (which Blogger makes much tinier than everything else, of course). For those who don't know, by the way, this Bloomsday he mentions is the day on which Irishmen and Gaelophiles declare their love for that insipid penguin Opus by taking a wee nip of whiskey every 3 minutes from sunrise until whenever their stream of consciousness ceases and they topple forward into a plate of lamb stew. Good craic.

Sir,
Might you allow me to take deepest umbrage with your dismissal of Mr Joyce's Ulysses, arguably the most important work of literature of the last five or six hundred years, as an "insipid Penguin opus". Penguin showed great courage to publish Ulysses in the face of the small-minded self-appointed arbiters of so-called "morality" of their day; a shameful tradition which I see persists into this unenlightened Brave New Century. I suppose congratulations of a sort are in order for your ability to remain mired in mores that surely should have been long abandoned.
Yours, etc.
i received a card of that cartoon once, along with some items i left at a gentleman's home.
