I thought today that probably the best way that bloomsday can be inspiring is not to dress up in leopold bloom outfits, but to slip inside the day, slip inside the broad breadth and intimacy of the day, and that is available today and any day.

Is it Michael's birthday?
Does something bloom today? Maybe hydrangeas, up north? I'm between blooms right now, although the Black-eyed Susans are going to pop soon...
What IS bloomsday? It sounds nicer than doomsday...

Poor Susans :-(
The day on which the events of Ulysses take place is 16 June (1904). Hence Bloomsday from Leopold Bloom, main character of Joyce's work.

Thanks, bilby! Ulysses was soooo very difficult for me. I understand the Susans so much better!
Due to a couple of recent turns in wordie action, I'll be taking a break. I don't speak Japanese or, apparently, enough French. As for the other, well, it doesn't make me laugh.
Ciao :-), I'll be on the porch.
