Too Much Drama for Your Mama

June 7th, 2009

The San Francisco Marathon

August 3rd, 2008
By Mike Lee
"I was immediately intoxicated with a beginner's enthusiasm: the very special thrill of exertion and a feeling that my body had vast capabilities.

- J. Galloway

My nipples were hard. The early San Francisco air was icy. We had a few more hours before the sun would tickle the air and vibrate its electrons. Thus, my nipples were hard.

By Mike Lee

"You're such an instigator," my Dad told me.

"Instigator?" I wondered. "What does that word mean?" I had no idea. I was in pre-SAT grade school at the time. So I looked it up in a dictionary.

By Mike Lee

"You know what I hate? Flakers."

Tim nodded. "Oh man, me too."

Misery Loves Company

February 18th, 2007
By Mike Lee

There are Pale Ales on the table. The lighting is dim. A chilly draft brings in much-needed fresh air. The other patrons provide gentle murmurs for ambiance.
