Donnie from the Old Crow Book Club stood outside the grocery store selling the newspaper that advocates for the homeless, but doesn't practice the kind of journalism that's needed to address the crisis. It was both a surprise and relief to see Donnie because I'd heard he was back in detox (fifth or sixth time). The last time I'd seen him, over a week ago, he seemed near death and splayed on the sidewalk in a mega alcoholic stupor. He hadn't even recognized me when I called out.
Goodness this was rewarding to read Matt!
