Perhaps my second-favorite holiday (after Groundhog Day). I wish I could say I began the day with a naked swim, or even a fried kidney, but alas, my observances of the 101st Bloomsday have been rather lax (although I did manage to talk to a dean right about 10:00). It is my secret ambition to set up an Appalachian Bloomsday here, but I annually forget these plans until it is too late to do anything about it. Maybe next year.
