We don’t have a fresh Grumble this week, but it may be time to revisit the topic of ‘Listening.’ It seems some in our government have lost this skill. Almost as if we are governed by a shadowy, robed cabal of unelected, out-of-touch zealots.

Ding! You have three new messages. Distractions are omnipresent in today’s society. Ding, you have a new notification. It’s difficult to subscribe your attention to any one thing for more than a Ding, forty-seven unread e-mails. But maintaining someone else’s attention Ding, impossible. What happened to the lost art of, Ding, you’ve got your steps in, LISTENING. Ding, Grumble Goat has a new episode, put aside the distractions for a, Ding, random-phone-number-with-your-area-code calling, STOP. Listen. Lend an ear to Mat & Veronique as we, wait, what were you saying?

*Grumbles are specifically off-the-cuff, no research went into this grumble.
