Oh Promessa Me...

So, speaking of compost.

You have to understand where I am coming from on this to fully understand where I want to go.

Once you read this book and visit the site for Promessa, the Swedish company that is developing a method to compost human remains, you may want to join me.

Or not.

To me, it seems a peaceful and perfectly appropriate method of rest.

[many thanks to riannan, who sent me a fresh copy of Mary Roach's wonderful book Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers, then patiently exited stage right while I fended off residual squeamishness and finally read it]
