After a year layoff, I recently started up Israeli dancing again. There were only three of us tonight, so we ended early.

That gave me time to get to 308 for English Country Dancing, which ended at 9:30, and from there over to Leonardo's in time for $1 a slice pizza before closing.

On my way in, a homeless guy, sitting outside the parking lot with his backpack, asked me for some food. I brushed him off.

The night before, there was a homeless guy hanging around when we came out from Salsa. I brushed him off too, but Richard gave him some money. I told Richard he should not give the guy money there, because we do not want him waiting for people to come out.

Two more homeless guys were camping out in the parking lot. They all had backpacks. Why were there so many and what happened to the plastic bags?

Richard told me to chase them off, but I told him I would rather have the police do it. I left them there yesterday, but we cannot have them there. It is bad for business. So far, I have not seen them again. Maybe they were passing through. That would answer my questions.

I ordered a slice of cheese pizza to go. It cost $3. No more dollar deals.

When I got back to the parking lot, the homeless guy said, "Can I have your leftovers."

I said, "These are not leftovers." I started to open my car door, then went back and handed the guy my pizza.

He said, "I really am hungry."

I said, "I know you are."

Better that the homeless guys congregate by Leonardo's than our place.

I started to drive out the back way, but decided I still wanted a slice of pizza, so I parked my car again and went in. I told the woman, "I need another slice. I gave mine to a homeless guy."

Then I asked her what happened to dollar-pizza before closing. She said they discontinued it.

While my pizza was being warmed up, we had an interesting discussion about homeless people.

She did not charge me for my pizza and I tipped her a dollar, so my $1 slice cost $4 dollars.
