"…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)

Inside the SF Marriott
This weekend is San Francisco with friends. Staying at the SF Marriott on 4th. The organizing principle is Wondercon and a mini-vacation. Of course being downtown SF traffic was very stressful.
