a heart with a twist of lemon

thanksgiving is a fun holiday. sit around and stuff your face with food. thank you pilgrims and native americans for inventing it. i like it so much i'm celebrating it twice this year. once tonight and then again on thursday. tonight's event was held in south minneapolis. it was potluck style with many of my bowling buddies. thursday (actual tgiving day) will be held in NYC. complete with the macy's day parade. so much turkey in one week. makes you sleepy with tryptophan.

which brings me to another pair of birds of the sleeping variety. the early bird and the night owl. my body is a night owl, so i can never really fall asleep early, yet my work schedule means i wake up every day unleashing some early bird rage on me. granted, my job allows for more sleeping in than most traditional jobs, which i am thankful for (happy thanksgiving), but in the bird fight that goes down in my mind, the night owl always claws its way to the top. it is nice when turkey steps in to moderate the match with tryptophan. so thanksgiving is not only a celebration of thanks, but it is a moment of truce between the early bird and night owl in me.

to that i say, "gobble! gobble!"
