"…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)

A Quick Step of a Week
Okay, it is a quiet Friday evening and, after dishes and taking the trash out, I am kicked back and watching an episode of Ancient Aliens, one of my guilty pleasures. Let me catch you up real quick on the things that have been going on. On the personal side of the house TR is on her journey yet, so I am missing her and enjoying each chance to talk when it occurs. The folks are doing well in the assisted living community in Winner, SD. Siblings are doing okay. Most of my friends are continuing their journey there, so all is pretty much status quo. At work we rolled out phase one of the project I am working on and we got some much needed direction in terms of future developments in the project and the O&M support model. The launch was amusing but mostly smooth. Now, we start work on the second phase this coming week. In short, a brisk and busy week without a lot of opportunities to write - most of the free time I had went to work, to the process of getting the project launched. I am looking forward to a solid night of sleep tonight without having to worry about the work project - largely because no one should be working over the weekend. Tomorrow, I am planning on making it a long, slow and easy day.
