For David

I had this friend, a guardian angel, who had the sort of attachment to James Joyce’s Ulysses that others have with religion, and David is his brother. He loved Ulysses for many reasons, but above all others for its celebration of the triumph of the common man - where real heroism is found in so-called ordinary lives... in people who repeatedly muster up strength in the face of so-called ordinary problems to go out and fight another day...  in his opinion these were the true stories to merit an epic billing, and I agree completely.

David’s job involves travel and long hours – his older brother used to speak with pride about the skills and endurance it entailed -  I’m hoping that the warmth of this yarn might occasionally come in handy on his journeying.
