Video Find of the Day
One of the benefits of being an army brat is all the entertainment. Five days a week and sometimes more we had enlisted men marched past our housing area chanting cadence. I was looking for videos of that, and found some, which we'll see later, when I landed on this video of a Swiss drum team. That was another way we kids were entertained. Every once in a while there'd be a formal ceremony on the big marching field. Or a rehearsal for one. We could get up close and follow the marchers around, or just listen to the drummers.
Some people see only the military or patriotic coloring. To me, it's music.

About Me
- Dr. Wes Browning
- I have a doctorate in Mathematics from Cornell. I am amused by this. My parents tried to kill me on my 1st birthday. Though I now can't speak it much, and though my parents never could, my first language was Hawaiian, not English. I partially credit an I'iwi for my survival. Hear one on the audio clip at my complete profile. I've been homeless a number of times, for a total of about 4 years. For some of that time I supported myself with the sale of paintings. One of my paintings was chosen for the cover of the premier issue of Real Change, see the links below. Since that first issue in 1994 I have become part of its volunteer editorial committee. I write a regular humor column for the paper, currently titled Adventures in Irony. I serve on the Real Change Board of Directors. I feed the Real Change cat Sid Vicious. Anitra Freeman and I are an item.
