Episode 9: The Unlikely Journey

Soooo, it’s been quite some time since my last entry. Six months to be exact. I didn’t intend to have this much time between posts when I started but the “project” that I’ve been working on consumed most of my free time. I’m happy to say that the project of which I speak is finally complete. The Unlikely Journey is a book that chronicles my family’s journey in the entertainment business from the time my son started taking acting lessons, through October of 2010 when we moved to Stamford, CT to shoot 90 episodes of the TBS sitcom, Are We There Yet?. I decided to write the book for a couple of reasons. First, I simply wanted to share our experience. A lot of people we know were asking us the same questions: “How did this happen?” “How did he get here?” “How did you guys do this?” “How did you guys do that?” It occurred to me that it was an interesting story. Not because it’s our story, but it’s just interesting. Second, I hope that it inspires people to follow their dreams. That’s really what our story is all about. Our son was brave enough to tell us his dreams and we did what we could to help him pursue them.
For those of you interested in reading it, the link to the right will take you to LuLu.com where you can order a copy. (use coupon code: LULUBOOK305 to recieve a 25% discount through Jan. 31st.) It will also be available on Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com in the coming weeks.
Now that that’s done, I plan to blog once a week with information about what’s going on with us. The 90 episode order of Are We There Yet? was completed on Dec.15. TBS has an option to order more episodes if they so choose. In the meantime, my son and I recently arrived in LA for pilot season in search of his next project. It’s an exciting time for our family. Who knows what’s next. Stay tuned…
