There's no place like...

Our counselor has advised us to close our eyes and "go to our safe place" when we feel overwhelmed or stressed. She offered several suggestions for safe places we could visit, including sitting on the beach and working in the garden.

Mine is a Taco Bell. With an ample supply of quesadillas, crunchy tacos, chicken crunch wrap supremes, and taco sauce (the ones with the fun messages printed on them).

Thank you, Jacoby Ellsbury

I don't know how you arranged such an amazing deal, but thanks to your stolen base in the bottom of the fourth inning during Game 2 of the World Series, all Americans get a free Taco Bell taco on October 30.

You've only been playing in the big leagues since September, and your stolen base tonight, while not ultimately leading to a run, has earned every American a 77-cent value. If each citizen collects their delicious soft or crunchy taco, Taco Bell will have given away over $231 million in lettuce, beef, and cheese.

Brothers and sisters, let us not be ungracious recipients of this gift the Red Sox rookie, in conjunction with Taco Bell Corp., has bestowed upon us. Rather, let us unite with one appetite as we consume our 300,000,000 tacos next Tuesday afternoon.
