Charleston Ballet Theater, South Carolina's world class professional dance company, presented the perfect lunchtime diversion with their Brown Bag and Ballet series. While no one dared to eat lunch, it was a wonderful way to pass the noon time.   The first two performances were rather calm (we kept comparing them to the 'Trocks') but the final number, Bolero, was extremely mesmerizing and very well done.

While waiting for our second ushering 'gig', the actor, Bill Murray walked by with his little boy, Lincoln.  He owns the minor league baseball, the Riverdogs, who we watched when my brothers were here.  He has a home on Sullivan Island and is frequently here.  Fun!  One of his quotes I've read, "There aren't many downsides to being rich, other than paying taxes and having relatives asking for money. But being famous, that's a 24 hour job right there." 

Stelli di domani, a series of comedy performances, ended our day with tonight's show by David Lee Nelson, a stand-up comedian who performs a solo show about major life changes in the age of social networking.  Hmmm.  What to say about David Lee Nelson?  While parts of his show were very entertaining (Facebook seems to be the big target right now), the tale of his wife leaving him was just so sad.  I waited after the show, just to give the guy a hug.  Man, he needed one.  Steve and I both left with a very heavy heart.
