Many weeks have passed since I first took the steps to begin worm composting.

The other day while heading home from the dog park with Jack, I stepped off a high curb and heard a peculiar noise.

I never did a science project as child, but that hasn’t stopped me from venturing into vermiculture, or worm composting.

In the 1990s, DVD was the fastest growing technological phenomenon in history. People were buying DVD players faster than their parents bought televisions in the 1950s. Suddenly, high quality digital video made the old VCR look very old fashioned.

By now, you may have seen some billboards around the area – plain white ones with phrases like "I am so over Sarah Marshall" or "My mom always hated you Sarah Marshall."

Ever since ringing in the New Year, my wintertime cheer has been replaced with feelings of sadness and lethargy.
