"…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)

Lazy Morning
It has been a nice and lazy day off so far. I slept in, following dreams of work, and then met Tony for breakfast at Goodies. After breakfast I stopped at Barnes and Noble and picked up a handful of computer related magazines. I haven't read any in a while - when you're working a major project, tiny slices of your life simply fall away and only in the aftermath do you realize it. Simple things like reading magazines and staying current on technology trends - you set them aside for project work. It is nice to pick them up. I keep trying to find the energy to do something productive, but the day is steering me toward a very non-productive sweep and that is perfectly fine.
