"…Living only for the moment, turning our full attention to the pleasures of the moon, the snow, the cherry blossoms and the maple leaves; singing songs, drinking wine, diverting ourselves just floating, floating….refusing to be disheartened, like a gourd floating along with the river current; this is what we call the floating world…” Asai Ryoi, in Ukiyo Monogatari (Tales of the Floating World, 1661)

Now Boarding...
I swear this is what I hear. "We are now boarding flight 3344 to San Jose. First Class, Platinum Club, Gold Club, Silver Club, 100,000 Mile Club, AARP Members, Parents with Children, Parents Without Children, Children With Stuff Animals, Citizens of Pangea, and all passengers not wearing pants may board." EVERYONE stands up and boards. Fifteen minutes later I hear. "Okay, Rod, you can get on now."
