Wrote 5800 on the Esquire piece today.

Really happy with start, bit of teeth pulling the rest of the way.

All my previous brave talk aside, I have little confidence writing "reporting" pieces, but I do get somewhat better with each one (Rumsfeld to Monks of War to now this), making Warren's job a bit easier.

More than the other two, I am discovering this one in the writing itself, which is exciting and a bit scary, given the passing deadline.

I know this: Warren will return phone calls til this f--ker's done!
