"…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)

Home Again
Just a quick note tonight - I am downloading weekend photographs from my iPhone and my camera and I am going to begin the enjoyable process of going through them and seeing what sort of gems I managed to capture. I've been back at work for two days - hectic days - but the afterglow of vacation is still on me. Tuesday was a little bit of a hectic day in my cranky pants, but I managed to get through the day. Today was just busy. Just busy can be kind of nice because it makes the time fly, but, on the other hand, I prefer busy and productive. However, it is the end of the day and I am settling in for a beautiful evening, so, in the scheme of things, I really have nothing to complain about.
