"…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)

Salt and Pizza
It's been an easy kind of day. I slept in until about 7:00 AM, then had a telephone conversation with my step-dad, then met Tony for breakfast at Goodies II, then popped out and got a car wash, then, finally, stopped at Target and picked up a towel and a pack of underwear. From there, I came home, finished reading "Earth Unaware", took a short nap, talked to my mother, napped again, a bit longer, and then woke up a short while ago. I called in a pizza order and I've settled in with a stack of magazines and the movie "Salt" on DVR. So, the afternoon is going to be an afternoon of Salt and Pizza. My thoughts today, though lazy, have been thoughts of transformation and transition, in part inspired by my other favorite TR, T.R. It's been a good day so far and I am looking forward to a quiet evening.
