Two in the hopper

Reworked something I had written this summer for a short piece in an upcoming Good issue that focuses on the planet. Gave them over 2k when they wanted 1k, but I divvied it up for slicing, so I think it's best to let them decide on the right mix of broad description (about 1k) and details (1k). Think we're talking the Jan-Feb issue, which I imagine will come out in early Dec.

Also just finished yesterday a 8k-plus piece slated (for now) for the January 09 Esquire that will come out in early Dec. Adapted some bits from the book (maybe a "k"), and wrote the rest new. It's an interesting spin-off from the book, tailored to elicit thinking about the incoming administration. Naturally, it is designed to be adaptable to any outcome on 4 Nov.

Anyway, nice to have two pieces in the works.
