"…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)

On The Ground
On the ground in San Diego, smooth flight down. I engaged in my favorite flying drink - a nice Bloody Mary. The only time I drink them is when I fly, not sure when I started that habit. But it is one I enjoy. There is a cool breeze blowing off the sea and the sun is just now burning off the clouds. This...feels...like vacation.
