Three random thoughts about my Privilege, the Cosmos and the basic nature of the ever changing Universe

1. Even tho I realize change is the essence of life and the essential process of all existence, I really love Open Pit barbecue sauce (only $1.99 at Publix) and hope the original version never ever goes away. 
2. In thinking recently about the concept of “checking my privilege” it is only now that I realize just how obnoxious it was years ago to make dinner reservations using the name “Dr. Mazer” in hopes of getting better seating and possibly more attentive table service. They must have really hated me for doing that and then if necessary correcting them if they said “Ok thank you Mr. Mazer, you as&wi@e, see you at 7:30 pm.          Ok… I still do that on very very rare occasions…..Mea Culpa
3. In watching one hour of the SciFi series 3Body Problem I got turned off not because I am or am not smart enough to understand the planetary science, theoretical physics, quantum mechanics/entanglement and nano-technology referenced in its creative premise but by my absolute disbelief in the casual bro dialogue between it’s central characters as they sit, drink and smoke cigarettes in a karaoke bar while offhandedly saying stuff like, “well it’s been a while since I’ve taken Particle Physics but is that configuration of the Universe on my cellphone app even possible?”  I’m thinking Game of Thrones, cutthroat family politics and flame-breathing dragons are far more realistic and believable. But what do I know. I’m still in therapy trying to get over the trauma of Greta Thunberg saying, “ok Boomer…”. That really rocked me because up until then i really thought we were special. Checking my privilege..again.
