  2. @dirkchatelain Sometimes I get stuck on the lede, and when that happens and it's 4 a.m., it's best to call it a night and take another crack about 12 hours ago via web in reply to dirkchatelain
  3. @dirkchatelain Saw highlight at 10 p.m. Talked with kid at 11, coach at 1. Drove 2 hours. Writer's block 2 more. Slept 4. Wrote 2. Filed. about 12 hours ago via web in reply to dirkchatelain
