There is definitely a hint of autumn in the air. After coming down from her bookcase aerie, Annabelle couldn't wait to crawl under the blankets to warm up. Iwould have been happy aswell with another blanket, but I'll wait. I know it's going to get warmer very soon.

When Carol Channing's 1977 tour of Hello, Dolly! played Cincinnati, I ushered for all the evening performances. I had seen Mary Martin in the first national tour when it played Cincinnati and loved it. In 1966, on my first trip to New York, I saw Ginger Rogers in the role, and she was a real letdown after seeing Martin. Channing was wonderful, as BK stated, and I even enjoyed her 1997 revival. I wanted to see Midler and didn't, but I did see Peters, who botched because she backphrased nearly everything she sang.

Jackl  You may be correct about that weird dream I had during yesterday's nap.

Not having any siblings, and not having been involved in sibling relationships that were difficult, I cannot say.  I have seen "East of Eden" and wonder if that brotherly to-do could have any input.  Haven't watched it in years, though.

If something is going to be resolved this weekend that may be related to it, I have no hopes of liking it.

Happy Saturday morning, all.

Yes, Jane...I did manage to sleep...a bit.  I was awake every hour on the hour, of course, but I did sleep and I know this because of the danged dreams.

I recently had a phone conversation with my former boss, and he told me our office building was all but dark post-pandemic.  We had occupied four floors, but now the GSA maintains offices on two floors, most of which go unused.

Working from home was always the goal pre-pandemic, but no one ever had the nerve to allow our folk to try it.  Yes, some did on odd days, but most had a presence in the office.  Now, all my former co-workers (who have not retired) are working from home. 

My dreams last night were a bit fascinating, because they combined my Navy service with my County service.  I found myself on a visit to Oakland and had been invited to explore the darken labyrinths of the office building.  While there, I caught the attention of the "acting" director of the agency who had been the financial officer when I was working.

Kimberly (her name) asked a favor:  If I was going to be in town for a week or two, would I consider helping them get the old shop back in order?  Well, how flattering.  But instead of it being a real estate office, it was a variation of a print shop and broadcasting facility (my Navy Public Affairs work, partially).

I told her I would be glad to help and she sent me to a different building to "sign on", as it were.  I stopped at my hotel and realized I only had the one set of civilian clothes I was wearing and one set of dress whites which i had hoped to wear at the conference I had come to Oakland to attend.  (No, the conference was not a military one, but it was about a story I had written, infamously, while in the military and I was asked to come speak about it).

I found myself face-to-face with familiar people in the other building, all of whom questioning why I would even consider working a week again.  I shrugged and said I had always enjoyed my work and since retiring, I had the time to do what I enjoy.

I returned to the office building where I realized I had no access.  There was a guard, and there were names on a list of people expected to be admitted, by my name wasn't there.   I asked if I could use a phone to call the office I wanted to visit and see if someone would come down, but the guard said I was not allowed to use the phone.

A Catholic priest approached and said he knew me and would escort me.  I don't know from Catholic priests, but he could have been one...or could have played one in a movie or TV show.

I was escorted to an office where forms were filled out to get me a badge I could use at the main entrance.  Oddly, the person handling those forms was the same guard who had refused me entrance.

Someone else I knew walked by and expressed surprise and pleasure at seeing me.  Will you be working here again?  I said for a short while.  How long?  I don't know, I said.  Maybe a week, ten days. or however long they need me.

The Catholic priest looked at me for moment and then asked what I would be doing and who had asked me back.  When I told him, he said, "I have to go speak with Margo."

I asked who the priest was, and I was told he was the person I had just been hired to direct.

Oh, well.  I don't know who Margo is or was.

I wonder if, when all the meds have been taken, I will no longer have strange dreams.

I truly do not like them.  When I awaken, I tell myself to think of something else and dream something else.  But, no....

Before, I could barely remember an interesting dream long enough to tell myself to keep dreaming it.

I get so frustrated with local community theeders that decide that the best choreographers are local kids dance teachers.

So what you get is exactly what MR BK wrote about - steps completely unrelated to story or lyrics and sometimes even music.

I knew we were in trouble a few years ago when I saw the "Tradition" line dances in The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

Telling a story and BUILDING a song in dance is crucial....I am almost tempted to put forward my name to choreograph OKLAHOMA! next season - but at least one of the folks who is interested in directing the show is....a local kids dance teacher.....who put "Tradition" in HUNCHBACK.....and if the music repeats, so do the steps.

I want to hear more about the "infamous story."

I was curious about that, as well, since I had no memory of writing it.

But, I was able to scan parts of the story.  The infamy part was that I stated that I had seen something in the skies one night.

I described it as I saw it.

I drew no conclusions as to what it was.

I observed phenomena occurring around me.

It was quite a piece and folks were out to ridicule me, but I had, as my defense, never once stated what it "might" have been or where it "might" have come from.

The story was a mood piece, extolling upon the mind's ability to transcend what it thinks it knows and to "imagine" what it cannot put into fact.

I did, but I always was glad I didn't.  It would have been hell on them with my dad's drinking, and my mom likely wouldn't have been able to keep us all in line.

That is an interesting perspective.  I found at times it helped to have siblings while dealing with my mother, but then my sister always made it worse by causing more trauma in the house.

I had a rather interesting phone call this afternoon.

Five years ago, my cousin Richard gave me a sheet of paper with an inquiry from someone possibly in our family who was seeking information about one of our fathers' half-brothers.  He asked if I knew enough to answer the question, so I told him I'd look into it.

Six months ago, I began seriously looking into my roots on Ancestry.com and much has been revealed.  Not enough, no, but quite a bit.  At that time, I e-mailed this person to let him know I was active on Ancestry at this time and would help if I could.

He called me today, after having not checked his account at Ancestry since i had sent my offer.

We talked for about an hour.  My father was the youngest of eight brothers and sisters.  BUT...his father, my grandfather, had been married previously and had three or five children (not sure at this point) with his first wife.  One of those children was a girl who was part of my grandfather's household while he was married to my grandmother (his first wife died). His sons were all older than MY aunts and uncles, so they didn't really live in the home with them.

This guy has had quite a life.  He has a home in Charlotte NC and in SC, as well.  He started a department store business in his younger years and is comfortable.  He wanted to know about my half-cousin Winston Pulliam.  Winston was in real estate in Biltmore NC (a wealthy adjacent to Asheville NC).  Winston was the son of one of my father's half-brothers...Ed.  Also in Biltmore lived my Uncle George and Aunt Belle, both of whom I loved dearly, and so did Winston who treated them like his own parents. 

This guy, whose first name I do not remember, is a bastard son of Ed, Winston's father.  He is seeking as much info as he can find on his dad's side of the family.  I have told him he definitely can PROVE relationship via his DNA which he can provide Ancestry.com, so that may help him out.

We will likely talk again...and meet up at some point the future.

Post by: Ron Pulliam on September 16, 2023, 01:20:05 PM
FWIW:  I met Ed only once.  He came to our house in Greenville, asked me if I was LeRoy's boy and then told me he was my uncle.

I called my father to the door and said my Uncle Ed wanted to see him.  I had never seen a look of disgust as deep as the one on my father's face at that time.  He told me I didn't have an Uncle Ed and sent me to my room.

Later, he told me who Ed was and that I was never to open the door to him again.

The most interesting fact - to me - about playwright Paul Osborn, and Indiana native.....is that when he was working with Elia Kazan writing the screen play for EAST OF EDEN....he also happened to know a young New York actor....

He introduced the young actor - also a Hoosier - to Kazan....James Dean.

Or maybe I wrote about this last week here. 

Something's happening, Dave......I can feel it......wait a minute.....wait a minute.....

DR Ron your family history is very interesting.

It's boggling my imagination at times.

One of my aunts did some research on the original Pulliams who emigrated from England.  She stopped researching when she discovered one had been hanged for horse theft.

Before my mother died, she confessed something to me she had known about for  more than 50 years.  Her father told her he had an out-of-wedlock daughter somewhere.

My mother never found out who or where and never wanted to.  After her death, my Aunt Doris (her legitimate sister) asked if I had heard of this and expressed interest in finding her half sister. 

I expect some of the cousins that turn up on my ancestry site may be related to this third sister, but I have no way of knowing at this time.

Good Afternoon - almost evening.  Today, has been productive.  I cleaned the bathroom/shower, played and sung a funeral and now I'm home with the boys.  I have a small rib-eye steak marinating in some olive oil, salt and pepper and garlic powder.  It will go on the grill in a little while.

I saw the Dolly tour in 1995.  First time I'd seen the show - of course I knew the music by then, but it was the first production I saw.  in 1997, I played for a production with Sharon McNight as Dolly - I have some good memories and some nightmare-ish memories.  My mom was her dresser.  She wasn't bad, but then there Sharon....   And that's all I'm saying about THAT!
