"…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)

Accidental Dancing
My shoulder/back led to an amusing moment the other day. I could feel the tension rising in the muscle so I took a walk around the building. As I was walking I would swing my arms forward and then backward, tensing them and fluttering at each apex, front and back, to stretch the muscle as much as I could. I suddenly became hugely self-conscious in the hallway as I realized I was doing a pretty good imitation of...Pee Wee Herman...dancing. (Tequila!). After I stopped laughing I looked around and made sure no one saw me.
