PHILIP
“How are you?”
TONY
“I had a god-awful time getting out here this morning with this rain, rain and more rain.”
PHILIP
“Me too. Well, I guess it’s not the same exactly, is it? Sorry.”
TONY
“Well, you know what they say; everyone’s got their problems, so I know what you mean, if you know what I mean.”

“At least you know when it’s cold, there’s going to be hockey on. I’ll tell you, that’s the best thing I’m thinking about winter right now. Coo-oo-oold.”

Hi all,
Tony’s still in the hospital, in semi-isolation and — as usual — frustrated that they are limiting his food intake. He’s always happy to have visitors.

“You know, some asked me just now why the construction guys are being so long doing the sidewalk on this block? D’you remember that terrible stink from up the street the other night?
PHILIP
“No.”
TONY
“Well, they broke a gas main. They nearly blew themselves up. And I’ll tell you, what a smell! I hate rotten eggs, I can tell you that.”

Hi everyone,
This is the 499th posting since we began our blog just a hair more than four years ago. [We (i.e., Philip) were too enthused to wait until the next one. ]
When we launched, so far as we knew, HomelessManSpeaks.com was the first blog to ongoingly express the words of an ongoingly homeless person.
Thank you to our many friends and readers. Your ongoing presence has provided us with a unique and extraordinary experience, weird as it has sometimes been. We expect more of the same.
Tony and Philip
