A not so long weekend...

Happy long weekend everyone! I'm taking the day off today and heading up North to the cottage.

It was fun being away all of last week but it was mostly all work and no play. Friday slide right into the weekend and on Saturday and Sunday we shot Shane's new movie. We got the film in the can around midnight last night after two sixteen hour days of shooting.

Today is a do nothing day. Except for the eight hours of footage I have to look at which is in my new laptop. I bought a new laptop on Friday so that I don't have to be here to look at and cut footage anymore. Now I can go anywhere I want to sift through hours and hours of footage. When I said today was a do nothing day, what I really meant was nothing but look at a bunch of hours of footage while hanging out at the cottage.That's about as close as I will probably get over the next little while to doing nothing. At least if I'm up north,I can take a break and hop in my canoe or just stare mindlessly out at the lake and think about nothing but the hours of footage I still have to get through before I crash tonight.

I have to be back here Tuesday morning to put this weeks show together so my long weekend getaway won't end up being all that long. It's better than having to sit here all day looking at footage.At least I am at the cottage.

In ten minutes I will be in my car drinking a coffee and listening to a little Howard Stern on my S50 on my way up North. Tuesday morning I will be back here doing what I do these days and that is what I was up to on the long weekend.

What did you guys do for the long weekend?
