06-10-22 Ron James Comedy Show
Today was super productive getting the draft budget put together with Peter, the society president. It took way longer than it should have but to be fair we also chatted a lot and that was nice. I like working with him even when we don’t agree we can talk it out. We are both actors who would like to act still, maybe there will be that opportunity to work together in the future. He still has hope I will take a break and come back to be a bigger part of the society in the future. We shall see.
After getting some reports sent, i rushed home and changed as I was on deck to volunteer for the Ron James show at key City. I am not familiar with his work as a stand up as much as I probably should be as he is a Newfoundland native and a Canadian treasure. I was working a door for a change and it was nice to chat with people on their way in and get to see the show. It was supposed to be 105 minutes with no intermission and he went for over 2.5 hours. The audience was super engaged and there was so much laughter and clapping, who could blame him for not stopping. I did enjoy it although it is clear his references are for an older audience. At one point he talked about a piece of paper burning a hole in his pocket faster than a Bonanza intro and then paused to say no one under 40 was going to get that. His humour addressed the insanity of anti-vaxxers, the ridiculousness of the convoy and much about his balls. Over all it was a great and enjoyable evening and the crowd left with big smiles on their faces as they headed for the bathrooms.
I got home and sat outside under the pergola having a bevie with the neighbour as the rain began again. It is a perfect temp night though and I could have stayed out longer.
The actual big excitement of the day was a parcel containing my leaf spring shackles for my ‘46 Willys CJ-2A. I have been waiting a long time to finish the rebuild. Can’t wait to get it back.
