Wednesday I thought I could not possibly make a blog post but said to myself, “Just try,” and succeeded. Earlier today that method failed. The festering beginning of a post lingers in my Drafts in case I can make something of it at some future time. That time is not now. However, I will try to come up with something else.
Last night I had a real blast from the past. Friends of Historic Herkimer County showed the DVD of the play Roxy, based on a local historical murder, which the Herkimer County Historical Society and Ilion Little Theatre presented in 2015. I played Roxalana Druse, who murdered her husband and was hanged for it (oh dear, should I have include a spoiler alert?). My late, dearly missed husband, Steven, played at least three parts. In the picture above he is Dr. A. Walter Suiter. It was very moving seeing him on screen like that. He was such a wonderful actor and enjoyed it so much.
That took me a while to find, but here I am in a dramatic scene with my abusive husband and two of my accomplices after the fact. I was a little worried about watching myself on the screen and in particular hearing my voice, but it was all right. I went with two of my dear friends, Jim and Kelly. Jim played the prosecutor who helped get me hanged.
So I guess this is kind of a late Throwback Thursday, maybe even a Non-Sequitur Thursday post. At least it’s a post. One does what one can after all.


That was the first one I went to. I thought it was great. I canr believe it’s been 10 years.
I know! I feel bad that I’ve lost touch with a lot of the people involved.
