Homeless Man Speaks

I have recently been reading a blog by a guy named Tony who is 59 years old, from Toronto and is homeless.
Tony has a friend who visits him and writes down what he says and then goes home to blog it all up. The blog has been going since 2006 and it's a very interesting read, telling of the danger of being homeless at night, about Tony having spells in jail and where he is at the moment having recently developed lung cancer..

Different people have different views on the homeless and i am not trying to project any opinions, just to say it's an interesting read...

This is the first page from 2006 with an introduction to Tony...

Hi Doug,
We very much appreciate the mention.

For me, the blog is a way of saying that everyone is due simple human respect. But it also is what it is, I hope. :-)

Doug, great of you to acknowledge the work that Phillip and Tony have been doing over these last four years. Hard to believe it has been that long that we have been part of Tony's life. He's one of the cyber family for a lot of us. Slainte! norm
