Yea so, this week probably topped all other weeks. JJ and LaurieAnn, we worked asses off this past weekend and it paid off. Our story about the Callaway Raceway ended up with 6 elements, photos, two graphics, text piece, KOMU story, and a video vingette, all of it out by five too.

This was probably one of the first stories I've been able interview my interviewees at their own homes after setting up interviews at the racetrack the night before. They did feel more relax, and obviously less "under pressure" while off the track. I think the quotes were just more solid. My apologizes go out to Corey Nelson, who was very enthusiastic about racing and I wanted to put in our video, becuase we didn't have the time to spare in our 1:50 video. BUT I know I got a sweet shot of your shocks in there, and a few seconds of your car cruising by.

At KOMU this week I was busy. 9 am, I'm out the door and reporting at a police press conference. About an hour later I'm up in the state highway patrol helicopter taking photos for the story. Between 3 and 6pm, I'm out along a frontage road on US 63 helping set up a live shot for the 5 and 6 broadcasts. Yea, that week topped the others.

Thanks for everything guys, if I didn't get to work with ya, I'm sorry, but I hope we meet up again!

Enjoy your summers
