At least you know he's thinking about it.

Or was thinking about where to crash last night. They have a covered patio with a picnic table under it.

Assuming he was thinking about anything else is a stretch.

He left before they opened. The manager of the club said he wasn't there when he opened and they know each other pretty well.

I suggested that might be a good idea so that he could get out of the cold. It was only 60 degrees this morning and while that may not be real cold it is still cold enough when you've been out in it all night in just a T shirt and levis. The same ones by the way he was wearing when I picked him up at the hospital the other day.

I had to go pick up a customer so I excused myself and left. I went back to the club during that first meeting but he was not there.

Well at least he had something to eat.

John you are not just a humanitarian, I find you an inspiration as well!

Thank you Duke but I'm only doing what was done for me 13+years ago.

I'm being totally selfish about all of this. I only get to keep what I have by trying to give it away.

By the way, as of this morning he is still wandering the same 3 mile radius.

This could go on indefinitely so I doubt I'll update this thread unless something significant happens.
