We're back!

Our internet connection was broken for most of Wednesday and Thursday. [A switching problem at Southwestern Bell, according to our local internet provider.] And Friday I was busy on other things [A visit to the Fort Sill museum and Geronimo's grave, the start of a sewing project.]
I intended to post on Bloom's Day on Bloom's Day (June 16). You can download a copy of James Joyce's Ulysses from Project Gutenberg. Or you can read a web-page a day for the next two years here! [RSS feed available]

Father, let me dedicate All this year to you
In whatever earthly state You will have me be
Not from sorrow, pain, or care Freedom dare I claim;
This alone shall be my prayer: Glorify Your name.
--from New Year's Hymn by Lawrence Tuttiett, 1864 (alt.)
