The Original Privilege exercise behind the cut
Some things have been changed or eliminated in the blog meme. Computers and cell phones were in the original exercise and no-one had a home computer and cell phones didn’t exist when I was a kid/college age.

Being moved in unexpected places
The hockey game in Buffalo between the Sabres and the Penguins. First they sing the Canadian National Anthem (pretty as always) and then in lieu of the anthem of The States, they sing “God Bless America” and dedicate it to the troops. The audience is invited to sing along. Hit the refrain and it sounded […]

The drum session – the beat goes on
