Hi Marc,

Thanks for the okay on "function." Now I'm more confident about it! It's a keeper!!

Where did you go to university? In Canada? I went to a small Lutheran college in North Carolina and then I got a masters at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia. I'm sorry to say I've never read Joyce's "Ulysses," but Tennyson's poem also named "Ulysses" is one of my all-time favorites. Of course he isn't Irish. I got a lot of Yeats in graduate school in a twenth century British poetry seminar. I studied Heaney through a University of Virginia class on him. I also taught right much Yeats to my high school English students before I retired.

My friend and I are planning of taking an Irish pubs tour in Dublin featuring Irish greats like Joyce, Yeats, and Heaney readings. We're also taking a pub tour concentraring on Irish folk music as well. We're very excited about it!!

Nice chatting with you!!!
