Jackie and I spent the day baby-sitting Bethany.

Jorge Moll and Jordan Grafman of the (American) National Institute of Neurological Disorders have found that giving to charity effects the brain’s pleasure regions in much the same way as sex or good food: “Something in our brain is shaped by evolution which allows us to feel joy when we do good things”.

In the evening, Jackie and I visited the in-laws to stimulate our pleasure regions with good food.
