We had just finished recording “After The Ball”.

We went to dinner at Brooklyn Diner after Sandy Bainum’s cabaret at Don’t Tell Mama on Monday night, March 12, 2012.

It was a large group, including Lanny, many friends and family members of Sandy, and my friend Pam. I had a glass of wine and a baked potato.

After this frustrating week of bad health, I am a bit leery of stepping out today. Unfortunately, since it's my one day out this week, I've crammed it with errands. I need the barber visit badly, and I hope my walk there goes well. Access-a-Ride is picking me up there for my three-month checkup and surgical clearance. I'm expecting hell from my doctor since my A1C has risen from 6.3 to 7.0. After that, AAR will drop me off at the local Staples so I can scan ballet No. 16 and five pages of fixes to No. 7. I will be very happy to get home and happier if there are no grisly health messes along the way.

Once upon a time, I would be giddy about it being Friday.  Not now, though.  Friday is just another day that is easily indistinguishable from the other week days.

This week might just as well have been several Fridays strung together.

Title: Re: NO BAD THINGS

But, then, there was Thursday.

That's right.  Yesterday was Thursday, and it wasn't like a Friday at all.

Post by: Ron Pulliam on May 12, 2023, 04:23:25 AM
I knew that my day was going to be somewhat busy because I had a doctor's appointment in Aiken SC at 11 a.m., and I knew I would do a return trip to Sam's Club before heading home.

I made a hasty appointment before leaving the house to get a haircut in the afternoon.  Happily, my barber could work me in at 2:30.
Title: Re: NO BAD THINGS
Post by: Ron Pulliam on May 12, 2023, 04:32:04 AM
I know that sounds rather mundane, but I have left something out.

Thursday evening, I was slated to join my cousin Butch and his fiancee Sharon at the club for an Eyetalian supper that would be followed by a play performed by Edgefield's Main Street Players.


Title: Re: NO BAD THINGS
Post by: Ron Pulliam on May 12, 2023, 04:33:42 AM
None of us knew what the play was about but as it was being performed in the main dining room of the club, I figured it would be skit-like and last 40 minutes or so.

And for this part of South Carolina, it was something different from sitting home and watching TV.  Vastly different!

Title: Re: NO BAD THINGS
Post by: Ron Pulliam on May 12, 2023, 04:37:39 AM
At 6 p.m., we met at the club.  We claimed our table and went through the buffet line.  The Eyetalian fare was spaghetti bolognese and lasagna..  There was also freshly ground parmesan, galice toast, and a quite nice salad with three different dressings (ranch, bleu cheese and a balsamic/olive oil).

I did not take a head count, but the room had about 50 people.  The food was good, the ambience cheerful, and exactly at 7 p.m. the entertainment began.
Title: Re: NO BAD THINGS
Post by: Ron Pulliam on May 12, 2023, 04:39:44 AM
The co-directors, both local women with whom I am acquainted, addressed us.

One informed us that the presentation would be like "reader's theater".  In other words, while the actors did know their lines, they would be reading from scripts as well.

And, the show would last two hours, with intermission.


Oh.



My.


God.
Title: Re: NO BAD THINGS
Post by: Ron Pulliam on May 12, 2023, 04:44:55 AM
The theme of the play was about four guys playing golf the day after their 15th college class reunion.

Because of the age of the actors, however, we were informed -- wink, wink, nudge, nudge -- it would seem like their 45th reunion.  (Ha!-Ha!  Tee-Hee!  Giggle-giggle and itchy-kitschy-coo!)

If I haven't correctly expressed my state of mind as the play got underway, I apologize. 

Two hours seemed interminable before the first word was uttered.
Title: Re: NO BAD THINGS
Post by: Ron Pulliam on May 12, 2023, 04:46:06 AM
The play is called "The Foursome" and was written by Norm Foster.  Play licensed from the Dramatists Play Service.
Title: Re: NO BAD THINGS
Post by: Ron Pulliam on May 12, 2023, 04:47:26 AM
One by one, the actors made their way through the tables and chairs where we were all sitting. One side of the dining room was bare except for a bench and four music stands  which held each man's script.   

Each had a golf bag and each was dressed "for golf" in different eras. 

A few cherce comments was made by all four about how each was dressed.
Title: Re: NO BAD THINGS
Post by: Ron Pulliam on May 12, 2023, 04:48:16 AM
Each scene was announced by a "girl" with a card that read which Tee they were on. 

Act one was Tees 1-9; and Act two was Tees 10-18.

As one of the golfers was drinking beer throughout the play, someone thought the card girl should be drinking also.

As she made her way in between scenes, she was progressively drunker and "naughty".
Title: Re: NO BAD THINGS
Post by: Ron Pulliam on May 12, 2023, 04:52:12 AM
To make a long story shorter, I will say that by the end of the two hours I found I had enjoyed myself.

Not immensely, but enough to appreciate that the four men each had talents that were allowed to shine through some really awkward staging replete with lulls that ruined the pacing of some lively scenes. 

Each scene had each man teeing off with a golf club. Only one of them seemed to grasp the idea of addressing a ball with stance and swing.  The other three were woefully inept as golfers who regularly play. 

Title: Re: NO BAD THINGS
Post by: Ron Pulliam on May 12, 2023, 04:56:04 AM
What I got from the play was that someone (Norm Foster) with a keen sense of golfing humor used this device to reveal some truths about the friendship of four men who hadn't seen each other in 15 years.  It had sass, it had vulgarity (toned way down for all the elderly among us), and each actor had "a moment" when he addressed the audience on an issue that had arisen about his life since college and how he was living it.

I rather enjoyed the idea behind the play and cannot help imagining it in a more rehearsed and faster-paced presentation.  During the play, each man revealed truths that were painful, and they explored the nature of why folks don't stay in touch after having been so close in school,

Today was full of banking mishaps. The rent on my safe deposit box renews next week and I wanted to surrender the box before then as part of my transition to the new bank. I called the new bank the other day. Yes, they had a box available, but a size down from what I preferred. Today I went to the old bank to empty out the box. When I walked in there were only two other customers in the bank, both being helped. I walked up to the unoccupied teller and said I wanted to surrender my box. She asked if I had an appointment.  An appointment? No. She said she could book one for Monday. What?  I’m here now and there’s only one other customer besides me. (My thought, not my words.)  After telling me I’d have to wait, a coworker spoke to her and she was suddenly available. I cannot understand not helping a customer who is standing right in front of you. I emptied, then surrendered the box.

Today was full of banking mishaps. The rent on my safe deposit box renews next week and I wanted to surrender the box before then as part of my transition to the new bank. I called the new bank the other day. Yes, they had a box available, but a size down from what I preferred. Today I went to the old bank to empty out the box. When I walked in there were only two other customers in the bank, both being helped. I walked up to the unoccupied teller and said I wanted to surrender my box. She asked if I had an appointment.  An appointment? No. She said she could book one for Monday. What?  I’m here now and there’s only one other customer besides me. (My thought, not my words.)  After telling me I’d have to wait, a coworker spoke to her and she was suddenly available. I cannot understand not helping a customer who is standing right in front of you. I emptied, then surrendered the box.

Another good reason to leave the old bank.

I guess it’s time to find homes for all my jewels and other valuables. I was told that safe deposit boxes are very hard to come by these days. I would add, so is good customer service.

I was concerned when you didn't say you had paid for the new box before closing the old one.

Billy Porter was great, but there were fewer than 600 people. Part rock concert, part gospel revival, part disco, part Broadway. Lot of parts. Lots of fashion. He did a Kinky Boots section.
