The Story Remains the Same

This morning, while flipping through a notebook I'm planning to take with me on work travel, I uncovered the opening scene for Line of Scrimmage—written in long hand. Since I rarely write in long hand and have no memory of beginning LOS the old-fashioned way, it was quite surprising to find these pages just 40 days before LOS hits the streets. I've since changed Howard's name to Henry and Miller to Merrill, but otherwise, not much has changed from this first rendition. In fact, it's exactly as it will appear in the book!
