Today is a working day for BND. (Translation: The Media Sensation should be working, not blogging.) Upcoming topics:

• What is wealth?
• What is vegemite?
• Are the two related in any way?
• I was a teenage carhop
• inland luaus
• double dutch courage

. . . and various other persiflage. I've been known to take requests, suggestions, and even dares, so gimme a buzz. Keep 'em PG-13, OK?

Today around the world: It's Africa Day in, um, Africa. And it's National Missing Children's Day in the U.S. Help if you can.
