The short version is that he wound up staying for hours and sleeping in our spare room. The longer version may be coming up here soon because he was a really interesting guy with much to share. Angie and I are still sorting out our feelings about this. TV and newspaper stories about the homeless are one thing; having one of them in your home, befriending him, is entirely another.
We sent him off today well fed and with a goody bag, but nonetheless now we're sitting here in our warm home while he's out there in the cold rain... We're still sorting this out in our heads.
