In America, thanksgiving means three things.  

First, it is a day where we give thanks for our many blessings.  (Of course, there is irony as it commemorates a day where we were welcomed...and then for the next few hundred years, the people who welcomed us were driven further and further off of what had been their land.  There are many things that Americans aren't especially proud of, but...until recently...we'd always comforted ourselves that we were always trying to get better.)  

Second, it is a day of feasting.  Rather obscene amounts of food is prepared and devoured...often centered around a stuffed turkey, all manners of sides and "fixings", plus a surplus of desserts.  If one has the means to do this meal right, it is truly awe inspiring.  

Third, it is a day for NFL football...but strangely, not a day for WATCHING NFL football.  No, if you've had turkey...or if you're just stuffed to your body's maximum capacity with whatever else was offered you...you WILL fall asleep...and the games scheduled for this day will just run, unwatched...and leading to many odd dreams.  

This isn't a bug, it is a feature.

Tryptophan is an essential amino acid that can cause drowsiness...and it is found in turkey meat.  

"Tryptophan" is also the name of today's Interbay track here on SoundCloud...a trip hop (or is it trypthop?) ode to this fine American tradition of thanking, eating, and sleeping.  

As I am far away from home (but still with access to the Phantom Laboratories West Mobile Unit), I'm not having a traditional American Thanksgiving.  I had cinnamon roll pop tarts for breakfast, I watched the entire Green Bay Packers vs Detroit Lions game (Go Pack Go!) and my kid and I have no further plans for the day.  Not even sure what we have available to us for lunch or dinner, as many places are closed for the holiday.  

I'm sure we won't starve, but I do miss the big family Thanksgivings.  What I wouldn't give for some serious carb loading--stuffing, mashed potatoes w/gravy, dinner rolls, creamed corn, sweet potatoes with marshmallows (yes, that IS a thing) and cranberry sauce.  I tended to have ham not turkey, growing up, but my late wife's family insisted that it could ONLY be turkey when they hosted.  

I remember, we used to invite out of town finalists in the Seattle comedy competition I helped run for many years to my in laws' for Thanksgiving...and, for many, it was one of the highlights of their time in our (damp) neck of the woods.  

So, as I look out on the far more pleasant California sun, I am thankful for my memories of good times that feel like they're fading further into the past.  But they're not gone...  

Happy Thanksgiving.  
And, as always...listen, like, repost, share, comment, playlist and follow this page for more Interbay, every single day (so far!)
