• I’m working on something.

  I
  spent most of yesterday tracking down reference materials and
  reading.  I realized at bedtime last night that I didn’t remember
  much of the technical detail.  I don’t even know whether many (or
  any) of my readers will be interested in technical details, but I am
  interested and that’s what counts.

  This is an expansion and extension of the study of the neurochemical
  basis of love that I have discussed previously in connection with Helen
  Fisher’s work regarding romance.  Her book also goes into
  affectionate and companionate attachment, and I have recently happened
  upon information on the web that ties into this and takes it into parental bonding and other
  directions, too.

  Yesterday’s work was strenuous, a strain on the brain.  Today, I
  have enhanced my own neurochemistry with nootropics — “smart
  nutrients”, cognitive enhancers — and I’m feeling somewhat sharper,
  less fogbound.  If all goes well, I might even do the readings
  that have been sitting here in my backlog for a couple of weeks. 
  It’s too early in the day to say for sure.

  Greyfox will be here in an hour or less.  He is bringing his
  winter tires to store for the season, and some supplies for us. 
  The main purpose of his trip is to vote.  There’s an important
  school bond election today and we want to do our bit toward fixing the
  roof of Su Valley High.  After we get back from the polls, he will
  want to use the computer. 

  As I said, it’s too early to know what I’ll get done today.  One
  thing I do know is that I’m going to be huggling and snuggling with my
  Old Fart.  Seeya later.
