"…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)

An Easy Morning
I was sound asleep by about eight thirty last night, slept pretty much the whole night through, and woke in the early hours of the morning. I had a great little call with T.R., then splashed through the shower and started the morning catching up on the news from my Kindle Fire. Then, I watched a couple of Game of Thrones parody videos from YouTube, having followed a link down the rabbit hole. Now, I am savoring my cup of coffee and waiting for Tony to get out of the shower so we can head out and get some breakfast. My plan today, if I have a plan, is to take it as easy as possible. After four days of the convention, there comes a day of just doing nothing. We'll probably do some incidental wandering and then catch a movie and have a nice relaxing dinner somewhere.
