This Is How It Starts

Six minutes pass. I am "driving". I am informed (note: more on passive learning in future, possibly) of the latest chess maneuvers in America's war efforts abroad, the "progress" of the ailing honeybee (I've been following this one very closely), and the alleged trainability of the common (not so common?) raven. Apparently they might be able to track down missing hikers.

Or something. 

I'm not sure, I wasn't taking notes as it is difficult and dangerous while driving.

The obvious next step is blog.

Thank you, public radio. You're welcome, devoted listeners.

Given all these informations (look it up), how to prioritize? Of course we know that as card holding members of the Bachelor of Arts Society it is imperative to structure our lives around such informations, but it's all so overwhelming. Where to start, Paul? Well, I'm glad you asked, because I have no idea. I do know, though, that it will require serifs, austerity, the use of parenthetical asides beyond all bounds of propriety, oxford commas, other fancy commas that I will invent, and a cool head. Consider me your guide. Ready, set . . .

Just the other day (Labor Day, to those who wish to note such things) the The Kojo Nnamdi Show addressed the pros and cons of retiring abroad. If you're not situated in the greater Washington D.C. listening area, you may not have heard (of) this delightful program. I'm not sure if it's syndicated nationally. I am sure I could easily find that out, considering I am writing about informations on an internet and have already gone to the trouble of linking you to Kojo's particular internet. C'est la vie, trompe le monde, Prêt-à-Porter, etc. Here's my elevator pitch for Kojo: 

He has a very low, soothing, exotic voice that assures me he must be at once very handsome and excellent at fatherhood. I can't attest to the factual nature of either of these. 

But I digress, so I repeat. The show the other day addressed the pros and cons of retiring abroad. There was so much information on this show. I mean, like, tons. There were experts, callers, etc. But as your guide, your mediator, I have sussed out the pertinent part. It goes as follows:

We're all moving to Panama. Right away. We'll live like kings. Have you seen the way kings live? It's pretty choice.
