“Oh Phil, you should tell the blog readers that I’m having my birthday on Thursday [Feb. 26th]. You’ll see, I’ll be on the sidewalk with my special birthday balloon and everything.
“Sixty, it’s pretty freaky.”

Congratulations on the birthday, Tony. I wish you well. Good luck on your vacation to Vancouver. My birthday is the 28th, actually.
Recently, a friend’s daughter refused to go with the family to volunteer at a local soup kitchen for the homeless, on the grounds that she was afraid or uneasy around these people. I directed her here to read your blog, in order to see that you are just like she and myself; regular people. Only maybe down on their luck or having made some poor choices, everyone’s story is different. The main thing is, I wanted her to know about you to see that the average homeless man is not some drugged-out animal, but a decent guy who’s just having a hard time and wouldn’t hurt anybody. Thank you, Tony. Happy Birthday.
