Low points of my 2005: My parents deaths in July. My "being stuck in NY" while they were declining.
High points: being back in NY, at the BMI workshop and doing Jewish Thighs off-Broadway with Jose, and having so many DR's come see it, and the Kimmel reading right before the show, and the dinner after, with everyone.
High point: my parents' funerals - seems odd, but all the old friends and family and stories and laughs and deli food made festive occasions of those sad days. I wouldn't have missed it for the world.
High point: well, um, Hawaii...
High points: 2 very satisfying auditions (my first in many years) in the past 2 weeks. (I think I may be over my mishegas at last.)
High Point: my sister Rikki's son Jeremy got married in Maui back in June - I cut the trip short to get back to my folks, but we had a swell time, and it was a beautiful wedding. Chuck and I sang One Hand, One Heart as the sun set in the west, as those two kidz exchanged rings. Oh, my...
High point: 2 weeks ago, my birthday. My sister Tami had a little party at her house. For the first time in my life, the cake read :Happy Birthday Penny. Just like that, I have my own birthday. We had a really nice time, and the whole family were there.
So many high points in 2005. Many more to all of you in 2006!
