Going on a visit.

It is always fun to go on a visit… especially where you are wanted. My brother in law always makes us feel that way. Other people have that same knack.

DakotaDawg said load the car and don’t forget me. We won’t but will have to watch her carefully. At eight she can be a tad too playful for some other dogs especially Cocoa.

Cocoa came with the house when Rick separated from the Air Force and settled down in one location that has turned out to be several. The boys were in grade school then and now one is in college and the other is about to be after just one more year. Cocoa doesn’t do any more laps around the pool and that is not because the latest residence doesn’t have one.

We are going to bring DakotaDawg’s OLD worn out Xmas dog that is about two thirds as old as she is. It is still her favorite toy and it was a gift from Cocoa. Maybe they can share it this weekend.

Short but sweet… just like this weekend. We will get the heck out of there before we wear out our welcome. Maybe DakotaDawg can nab another Cocoa toy. The one certain thing I know about the visit is what ever is Cocoa’s favorite toy will certainly be DakotaDawg’s too. She likes to share… especially Cocoa’s toys.

Traveling.

Home, James.

Home again, home again. Jiggety Jig.

Long day on the road. DakotaDawg got to nap when she wanted.

Squid and Memory… stay tuned.

.Sleep arrived early last nite before snoring filled the room. My lids fell after I had barely started a magazine article on memory. The last thing I do remember was a brown dog on the floor making snorting sounds. A brief recap of how far my research delved into the subject and what it means is all I offer today.


Recall has more to do with associations than physical storage procedure. It is the interconnection that is significant. It is almost irrelevant whether memory is stored alphabetically in brain cells, file cabinets or sub-directories. The retrieval of memories makes them memorable. I pondered if this was the case especially since it is really not a memory if one cannot locate where it is and what it is related to when it is desired or needed. Organization of relationships is what makes recollection possible.

I remember little else since I was quite tired and did not get very far into the article… more later especially about the squid. What this means is that for me to write more about memory I have to experience more to wrap my tentacles around.

DakotaDawg, can you knock off some of the snoring?
