I feel sorry that all I am up to today is a Throwback Thursday blog post. I am just not feeling well, and am feeling sort of down in addition to my ever decreasing brainpower. Can I do something to cheer myself up? Possibly. In fact, making my blog post has been known to cheer me up. I can only hope it has a similar or other positive effect on my readers.
A fine looking pair!
I looked in July 2017 in my Media Library and found this backstage shot from The Tempest, performed by LiFT, Little Falls Theatre Company. I dreamed about Shakespeare last night, more than once. When I woke up from the last one, I was still dreaming and I was running around saying, “I dreamed three times about Shakespeare! We have got to make it happen!” As if it was that easy. Dream on, me!
I’m such a ham!
I can’t help but include a silly picture of me. This is from July 2018, when Ilion Little Theatre participated in Ilion’s DooDah Parade. They allowed me to ride on the truck. One or two years I walked with everybody else, then I became a diva and insisted on riding. They graciously allowed me to do so. Oh the irony! I was well capable of walking two miles at the time. Now it is painful to go two blocks. Well, one never knows what the future will bring.
Who could these sweet ladies harm?
I was looking for something more colorful and cheerful, but I had to use this shot of me and my friend Kim, portraying the ghosts of two murderesses for a haunted tour of the Herkimer 1834 Jail. I believe there were actual ghost hunters there, along with a historian or two. There may have been actual ghosts, but I did not encounter any. In fact, it was wickedly hot in the jail, especially in our period costumes, and I was unable to stay the entire evening. But that is a tale for another post.
This post, I see, is over 300 words. Not bad for a blogger who feels she does not have a functioning brain. As always, I thank you for tuning in.
