Blog and Movie by Pete Jackson

It’s not every day that you get an opportunity to travel across the country on a road trip for 3 months to pursue a life-long goal. Sometimes when I take a moment to sit back think about what we’re doing I smile, because I know deep down this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. I also smile because Joe and I have both been able to experience a sense of ultimate support from some of the people who are closest to us.

Now my wife has supported my foray into entertainment from Day 1 of our relationship. I’ve never been concerned about her dedication to my [sometimes ridiculous] endeavors. But after all is said and done, the harsh reality is that I will have been away from my wife and son for almost 90 days. Making this up to my wife should be easy - I know in the back of her mind she’s already planning a solo trip to Hawaii for a week-long stay in some Sex In The City-style hotel that’s run by hunks in speedos. Just wait until I tell her the cards are maxed out, tee-hee…

In actuality, it’s my son who I worry about most. These will be 3 solid months that I can never get back with my son and sometimes the thought of that makes me sad. I suppose the people who serve our country overseas occasionally ask themselves the same question: How do you make up for lost time?

Well, son, in honor of the football season ending last week and your birthday coming up this week, here’s a little something to remember your old man by…

Love you, miss you.

- Pete
