"…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)

I Kept The Day Simple
I kept the day simple. Breakfast. A couple of errands. I drove up to meet Don to play pool at Edgies, but there was some sort of corporate event going on there, so we opted for lunch at Dave & Busters over at the Great Mall. We considered playing there, but there was also some sort of very large kids birthday party there. After lunch, I swept home and in the quiet hours of the afternoon I watched "The Following", then had a simple dinner of mushroom soup, then went out for a rambling neighborhood two and a half mile walk. All of that brings me into this moment, where I am settling in for the night with the intention of watching a move, perhaps "All The Pretty Horses".
