Saturday, I took what was supposed to be a leisurely trip to the zoo. The “leisurely” part did not last long, as I was forced to chase down and intimidate an 8 year old. I know it sounds evil, but once I explain why I did it, you’ll understand. I was enjoying an afternoon with [...]

by ListenToLeon on 31. Dec, 2011 in Alcohol, DC, Football, Redskins, U Street
Drunken conversations with famous people never go well for me. I was out last night celebrating the birthdays of my friends Monica and Rob.
