Happy Bloomsday to all on here, and here is a note
I just posted to Newfoundland groups, so some of
the references are local.
--------------------------------------------------
It is the 100th anniversary today of the fictional Bloomsday
in James Joyce's Ulysses so if anyone would like to recite
from that at tonight's Folk Club at The Ship Inn with
headliners Rik Barron and Dave Panting and with open mic
between their sets I bet they would be welcome.
It is also tonight the 11th anniversary of when I wrote my
Wild Rover Poe-M that was somewhat Joyce-ian but before I
had looked at his book Finnegan's Wake at all. It was
written after midnight the night of June 16, 1993, and
the clear sky lightning occurred probably a bit before
midnight, and was posted at 7:33:24 PST (and I was
at UBC in Greater Vancouver) June 17, 1993 in this
following version, slightly less than 3 days before new moon then
and it is now one day before new moon and a sunspot cycle later,
http://groups.google.com/groups?q=group:sci.fractals+author:David+author:Dalton+geop.ubc.ca+insubject:Fractal&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&safe=off&selm=1993Jun17.142515.2643%40hubcap.clemson.edu&rnum=1
but was completed and may have been posted in another crosspost
a bit before that.
Anyway, Happy 100th anniversary of Bloomsday to all,
and drop by The Ship and Finnigan's Wake bars tonight.
I guess I will have a half and half and also
black and tan, separately. (Which one is dark on
top and which is dark on bottom?)

may be of interest, that it is legal to read Ulysses
out loud in Canada publicly but not in Dublin or
Chicago, as Wallace J. McLean pointed out on nf.gneral .
By the way , I think the three oldest names in
Lake View (formerly Wicklow I think) are
Walsh and Kennedy and Fewer (pronounced FYore,
not few-er or fee-ore but F followed by yore )
and the Dalton name is older (back to about 1750)
in Gallows Cove which is part of Harbour Main
than in Lake View, which is still part of the
same RC parish and same town council.

and not Fie-ore, I mean the sound F followed
bythe sound yore, as in days of yore.

before back to about 1300 in Co. Kilkenny,
before that to about 900 as D'Autun so I
guess in Autun in France but maybe that town
no longer exists?
