Phil,
         A lot of Matt's problems stem from the fact that he refuses 
to communicate with those he owes money, hoping that it will all 
either just go away or resolve itself.  It's a very childish approach 
to life, but then, so is refusing to take well meant advice.
         We just got word from Chris that he isn't getting a job that 
he interviewed for this afternoon and his land lord said that he has 
to be out within three days.  We are willing to take his stuff, but 
I"m not sure that we are willing to take him.  I suppose that he 
doesn't really want to move back here either because of the rules 
that Greg and I feel we must enforce for the sake of the rest of us, 
so I don't know what the next chapter is for him right now 
either.  He still lies.  He has given up smoking, I guess, but his 
friends aren't doing him any favors as far as improving his 
reputation.  WE know that he has tried mushrooms, at least once, and 
he admitted to selling weed, once.  Who knows how many times 
really.  I told Greg tonight that there are times that I just want to 
shake him.  Greg told me that that probably wouldn't help and I know 
he's right.  I'd give anything to have the days back when I could 
just send him to is room to think things over for a while, but 
they're long gone.
