RIP Ralph Stallard. As it turns out I was at a funeral this morning, on my birthday of all things - a close friend's father. Even though it's brilliant summer, I couldn't stop thinking of the last lines of James Joyce's story "The Dead": His soul swooned slowly as he heard the snow falling faintly through the universe and faintly falling . . . upon all the living and the dead.

Thank you for those words, and happy birthday my dear friend! I hope it's a wonderful one. Carpe diem!
