"…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)

Mostly Incoherent
It has been a busy week here. The project I am working on passed one of the first key milestones today, so running up to it involved an early start on each day. Monday and Tuesday I started at about four in the morning and then, last night, I slept a solid twelve hours again. I am a little tired tonight, now that I am home, but I am going to fight off sleep by watching a couple of episodes of Ancient Aliens and do some writing. I think maybe a hot bath might be in order as well. Then, time to start a new novel (I finished my Doc Holliday biography) as I settle into bed. And, oh, a couple of family calls tonight. Right now, I am mentally fried, so I may have more coherent thoughts tomorrow.
