Ten years ago today, Peggy and I walked from our apartment to Times Square, got on the R train. We got off at the City Hall station, and I bet you can guess what happened next.

I don’t think that Peggy ever could have guessed what she was signing on for that day and when I think about all that has happened between that day and this, I actually feel a little dizzy. I’m incredibly proud of what Peggy and I have accomplished in the last 10 years, but I sometimes wonder if our lives wouldn’t be easier without this Comstock Films nonsense. Things like this recent Google dust-up are stressfull, and that stress takes its toll. I sometimes worry about what I’ve put her through, what I’ve asked her to give up, so that I can make these films.

But in all these ten years, she’s never asked me to stop. And when I’ve despaired, she’s the one who reminds me how important this work is to me. She’s the one who takes out the thank you letters from viewers and reminds me that it’s important to other people too.

Thank you Peggy, for saying “yes” when I asked you to be my wife. Thank you for going through with it and marrying me, then sticking with through thick and thin. I can’t imagine what the last ten years would have been like without you.

Happy tenth anniversary, honey. I love you more than ever!
