tears

tears were flowing this morning at our very last table read for the series. tears tears tears, people broke down crying and some people couldn't say any words because they were burst into tears and men don't play that, so they just said thanks! so so so so so sad and strange and it made me feel old. like 8 babies have been born to the writrs on this staff while i've been here, 3 weddings, everyone (but me) has bought a house, drive nicer and nicer cars. it's insane , we've all grown up... NOT SO FAST, I'VE GROWN NEITHER UP OR DOWN. i'm driving the same car, dating the same person (mr. nobody) and can still only do about 8 push-ups. i just have more wrinkles. tonight i'm taking the red-eye back east to see my brother who's coming back from iraq for 15 days leave. i'll be with his wife and kids at the airport gate cause we're a military family we can greet soldiers and i'm going to be crying like a baby. i can't wait to see him. then all next week are parties for the show ending and then it's off to torrino, italy to see the last week of the olympics!!
