Now I see what I have to do. I have to write Monday’s post in advance, because I am clearly not capable of writing on a Monday. That is, if those two sentences don’t count.
However, I do not feel I should have another whiny post about I Can’t Write Today, so I will do the photo trick again. That was kind of fun last time, wasn’t it? Let me see what I have downloaded…
This is one of my favorites. It is the LiFT Theatre Company’s production of Much Ado About Nothing, performed last August at the Utica Zoo. That’s me in the green shirt holding a pitchfork, trying to intimidate the big guy. Me and the guy in the white shirt were the Watch, and we had just uncovered a villainous piece of lechery. We were pretty pleased with ourselves over that.
Here is the whole cast of that production, at Canal Place in Little Falls, where we presented the play as part of the Canal Days Celebration. It was great fun, and the audiences seemed to like us quite a bit.
OK, this is one of my heroes, Weird Al Yankovich, as a monk on Galivant, an absolutely marvelous show that, alas, is no more. The reason I include it today is that I had two parts in Much Ado About Nothing (as anybody who read my multiple blog posts about the show may recall). Unfortunately, I don’t have an pictures of me as Friar Francis. So I thought I’d stick in a substitute.
So this is my blog post for today. My Mental Meanderings took me down memory lane to last summer’s theatre adventures. That is appropriate, as I am posting this before hurrying off to rehearsal for my next theatrical adventure, Steel Magnolias at Ilion Little Theatre. More about that adventure later. And more about further adventures with LiFT Theatre Company! As always, I hope you’ll stay tuned.



It is really hard to write and publish essays or stories. I tend to set things up to publish and hope they turn up fine!
It is difficult. But all we can do is keep writing, which is sometimes its own reward. And if it’s not its own reward, there is always a glass of wine!
