Warming up
I’m sure this makes sense in the cat world, somehow. I think it would make more sense for her to lay in front of the heater, but who can say that this isn’t keeping her butt warm just as well?
Worm beds
The worms arrived! One thousand red wigglers are now bedded down in the can, awaiting their first feeding. Pictures to come.
Tales from the trenches
I told myself when I started the previous incarnation of this blog that I’d try to avoid talking about work at all. But quite frankly, sometimes the only way to vent about something or share a funny story with other … Continue reading

Lessons not learned (Or, why my dogs are smarter than some of our clients)
I don’t mind helping people learn new things. During my college days, I used to tutor people in various subjects, and one of my instructors tried pretty hard to get me to change over to an education major. No thanks. … Continue reading
Embracing your inner geek
