A Strange Man

Things get more complicated by the fact that many, probably most, of Henry's ventures in time are more unexpected. Henry turns out to be known to the Chicago police as a odd man who likes to walk around in alleys with no clothing on. His co-workers in The Newberry Library think of him as a strange guy who occasionally disappears but usually leaves a pile of clothing behind. Henry learns to steal clothing form clothes lines, pick pockets, defend himself from attackers, and break into any sort of locked building. He gets pretty good at this, and actually ends up teaching his young self (whom he occasionally visits) how to do these things. That's how far I have gotten in the novel, but things seem to be getting more and more difficult.
