I did my best to simply disconnect today. It was what I needed, just a simple day of wandering and doing nothing and trying not to think to much. I slept late (about 7:00 AM) for me, the sun waking me as it flooded the bedroom. A shower, a muffin, a cup of coffee and I blinked my way awake.
I met Tony for breakfast over at Goodies II on Bascom. After breakfast, I drifted over to the car wash and ran the car through. Then, I stopped at Target to pick up some odds and ends. John D. Morgan park was next on my list.
After a nice, long, wandering walk I met Bob for lunch at Kirk's (again, oddly enough, on Bascom). From there, I wandered over to Best Buy and picked up a copy of "Snow White and the Huntsman" on Blu-Ray. Then, back to Westgate, for a stop at Starbucks and then just pointless wandering, during which I picked up a couple of shirts on sale and Melissa Etheridge's latest album "4th Street Feeling".
Dinner was a stop at Sushi Boat, then home, feet up, watching a classic movie (this has really been the summer of classic movies for me). "Paths of Glory" with a young Kirk Douglas. I wrote a few email and then simply settled in for the evening with my feet propped up. I think, in about fifteen minutes, I am going to slip into the bedroom and read myself to sleep. Tomorrow should be as low key as well.
"…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)
