This most recent time, though, he was needing rent money because (through a convoluted story with details I don't entirely feel like I should post publicly) he's being evicted from a rooming house and in danger of losing his kids which were suddenly put into his care. I was extremely torn but decided not to loan him $60; instead, put gave him directions and phone number for a church frequented by the kids' grandparents and generally into providing social support. I hope I wasn't mistaken about that...		* '''2007-12-29 16:15''' {{woozle}}: I've been two busy/distracted to note one or two other times I gave him rides.

Apparently he has decided that if Harena sees him, no answer will be forthcoming (which, although not entirely true, suits me fine).		* '''2006-12-03 11:08''' {{woozle}}: Harena saw him at the door with a kid, but by the time I got there they were both walking out of the driveway.
