Blooming

Happy Bloomsday to you all. And remember to stop by Bloomsday Books today for their annual celebration of Leopold Bloom's day long journey through James Joyce's 1904 Dublin in Ulysses. Live Irish music, cold Irish beer, great Irish company at this great Kansas City tradition. Best of all, it's walking distance from my house.

Okay, I guess that's maybe not the best part of it for you, but for me it's a bonus. Bloomsday Books is in the Crestwood Shops, just East of Brookside Blvd. on E 55th. Street.
