Good Morning, Everyone! Birds are making a racket and the sun isn't even up!

Sam, re: worm farm: Just finished a fascinating (yes, it was!) book, The Earth Moved: On the Remarkable Achievements of Earthworms by Amy Stewart, which, since you have a worm farm, might be a fun read.

Trip to S. Korea is finally set! Can't wait. It was a monumental hassle from Day 1. We decided to visit the sites we've seen in all the Korean historical costumed dramas we've been watching over the past year, crazed as this sounds. Have been trying to learn Korean; at least enough to get around, be polite, and order food without necessarily pointing. Tough language - not tonal, lots of syllables, and spelling that changes depending on which transliteration system you use. Discovered that the dramas use pronunciation and vocabulary specific to the time period with which they're dealing, so modern pronunciation can be different. aagh! Plus, somehow, I think I won't be using many of the words I learned from the dramas, like King, Queen, Prince/Princess, and Great Commander, very much. 😉

That's a lot of money, grano! Represents tons of hard work, but how did those odd amounts, like $.62 happen?

Anyhow, have a great day, All!
