Word of the day: Tryptophan.

Woah. Thanksgiving is this week, and already I feel like it's Christmas. (At least the context clues provided by Corporate America tells me so.) "Christmas Blend" coffees, pictures with Santa...I haven't even had a piece of pumpkin pie yet! Stop rushing the seasons, CEOs of America. Pretty soon it's going to be the 4th of July in January if "The Suits" get their way!

Honestly though, I'm still in denial about this whole holiday season thing. I'm trying to convince myself it's still the summertime by wearing t-shirts and shorts indoors. It's not so easy to fly around when you're dressed in 2 hooded sweaters, a scarf, gloves, and a poofy jacket. Take my word for it.

I just did a Google search for turkey, and found out that it contains this weird chemical that makes you sleepy. It's called "tryptophan." (Try saying that 3 times fast.) I wonder if we got a bunch of turkey sandwiches and fed them to Erasers, they'd snooze while we made our escape? Hmm. Sounds crazy, but it could work. I'll try it out on Gazzy.
