Dateline: Omni Resort at Championsgate, Orlando FL, 29 April 2005

Up at 0500 and working the Esquire text. Feel good on how it's unfolding through 4400 words, but worry that I've spent too much time "getting inside the mind" and "the man" without getting enough exposition down on the storyline.

Gotta break now for breakfast with senior execs of the corporation hosting my talk today at 0800. After I'm done, I will spend two more hours on the beast before checking out (God I wish I could play golf just once at one of the fabulous resorts!), then the flight home.

I am getting optimistic that it will be done by COB today, but pessimistic that Mark and I will be editing like crazy right up to the last minute.

I do need to slow down.
