A quick look back at 2007

2007 was a year for going places: not just “Berlin to Broadway” but Berlin and Broadway, San Antonio, Oklahoma City and Fort Lauderdale, Sweden and Denmark, Edinburgh and Amsterdam – more than a dozen cities in six countries. A year for completing things: Kerry’s “senior year” of high school (SAT, GED, prom), the finish of my dental restoration. Also a year of beginnings: D’Arcy’s smashing debut as a director of musicals, the first workshop of Einstein’s Dreams, Kerry’s first semester at UArts, our first few months as landlords and owners of 1816, Michael’s new life after years of cold storage in upstate NY. A year of discoveries: the novels of David Mitchell, the menu at Clementine’s, the power of “The Secret” (“thoughts become things”), the music of The Bad Plus, the brilliant commentaries of Alex Ross (“The Rest is Noise”). A year full of music: Kerry’s original music for Midsummer, the Ode to Joy in San Antonio, Back to Back to Back, The Velveteen Rabbit and Einstein’s Dreams, new songs for Gemini, and a “Buon Natale” finale for Goosefeathers, reborn as The Holiday Goose. A year for dreams come true: Gemini the Musical in NYC, three weeks abroad in Europe, the purchase of a rental property and (finally) a floor in our bedroom. And a year for milestones: Albert’s 60th birthday, Ron and Barb’s 50th anniversary. A Beatles song comes to mind: “It’s getting better all the time.” A wish for 2008: bring it.
