Terrorists may or may not be planning our destruction.
I am going through the worst part of midterms. I am operating on little sleep and less intelligence.
Yet all I am worried about is whether it will be annoying to go to the opera in the the sleet tomorrow night.

By the by, when intention is unspoken at the arrangement of the event, what constitutes a date?
By the by, when do I broach the question with the potential datee?
By the by, why I am I saying "by the by."
