So, I know him as Caveman. Easy monicker, like mine, based on the surname. Recently found a spiritual name. He says his mother was Jewish. Parents sat shiva when she married a Catholic. He took on a biblical name, one that denotes he is one of the people. Me, I am a Kohane, a word that doesn’t mean anything to him, Jewishly speaking.
These guys on the street act in several plays. Not many of us has the courage to even live one. 71 years old and starting to look it.
He tells me we used to hang out in the same places in the Village in the 70’s. His friends and I went to New York Law School together. Now, he lives on the streets. Moving to Waterbury on Wednesday into a sober house. Wants to make a movie about street life.
He was my best friend in Burlington, Vermont in 2021. He is a true disciple of Jesus Christ. He is one of the best men I ever met. We went on several road trips together. I will always remember out trip to Lancaster , Pennsylvania. Love you Richard ( aka :Israel )
Be Blessed . Your friend :James ( aka: Alabama )
One of the great pleasures in life is coming in contact with interesting/real people.
