Wiggled Out of This One

Knowing my interest in all things organic and carbon footprint reductionist, Ben, my husband, forwarded this latest missive from Riverside Park Fund (disclosure -- we're proud contributors to this fantastic organization that has truly helped to transform the Upper West Side):

Subject -- Workshop on Indoor Composting with a Worm Bin
"Join the Manhattan Compost Project and Riverside Park Fund to learn how red wiggler worms can turn garbage into a special fertilizer for plants. Worm bin set-up, maintenance, and troubleshooting will be covered during this free workshop. 'Worm condo' and worms can be purchased for the discounted price of $44."

Now, I know Ben is encouraging me to keep at this blog by offering topic suggestions that contain cultural and political metaphors worthy of critique. In fact, he outright said in his email to me, "Darling, I think there's a blog in here; after all, how many cultural or political metaphors can you find in a worm bin?"

But wait a minute. Wait just a minute now. I'm thinking, despite his good intentions, I'm honestly thinking WHAT? Culture and politics be damned. My greatest goal in life as a NY City resident is to AVOID WORM BINS at all costs. A slimy plague on those cosmopolitan wormbinners -- aren't bedbugs, roaches and rats enough???? Yecccchhhhh!!! Have we learned
nothing? Excuse me while I go drink a quart of hand sanitizer!
Thnx but no thnx for the topic suggestion, Ben.
hmmmmpppphhhh
love,
L.

PS By the way, have you asked yourself, is Acorn behind the $44 condo deal?
