I have received my copy of Ulysses Annotated and have been studiously figuring out what I read under the influence of drugs last week. It didn't hearten me much to remark that it has been 29 years since I read Homer's The Odyssey in college.

Of general interest is this wonderful new word that I learned:

crawsick -- Ill in the morning after a drunken bout the night before.

Local culture provides many excellent opportunities to use this word, as in, "Pierre don't feel so good today. He crawsick after the crawfish boil yesterday."
