A to Z Challenge - J

If your new to this Challenge, every day of April, minus the Sundays you blog about the letter assigned for that day. To find out why I’m blogging about what I’m blogging about, then go here. Today’s letter is

Samantha’s word – Jackson

I’m sure this is a friend of hers, but since I don’t know him (or her, never can tell anymore) I will talk about Jackson Hole, Wyoming.  I went there probably 25 years ago on a trip with Lifeline, which was more or less a kids club.  The trip was a blast and if I remember correctly, we stayed just outside Jackson Hole for close to a week.  We went hiking up in the Grand Tetons one day which was awesome, out of all the kids. only 2 made it to the top, me being one of them.  We went back to the camp that night and we played basketball.  Oh to be young again.  I can’t hike to the mailbox without getting winded now.  The main thing I remember about Jackson Hole, Wyoming is this.

Trevor’s word – Jack

Jack?  Again, I’m guessing a friend of his.  But when I hear the word Jack, it’s Jack Baur I think of.  If you don’t know who that is then you can just unfollow me now (not really, DON’T LEAVE!!!).  Jack Baur would be the character played by Kiefer Sutherland in the TV show “24”.  I loved that show when it was on, Jack was bad ass.  I’ll prove to you how much I liked that show, I’ll tell my wife I’m blogging about Jack and ask if she knows who I’m talking about.  Be right back.       Yeah, never mind, she said Sparrow.  I’m blaming her MS brain on that one.

I loved the show because the only thing that was predictable is that something was going to happen.  It was the kind of show where the good guys turn bad and the main characters get killed off.  In later season, cast from earlier seasons would just pop up again.  I loved it and never missed an episode and that was before I had a DVR.
