On this, my 300th blog post, I want to thank all the readers who joined me on this trip.
I thank you for all the sweet notes and cards and support and sympathy.
When the journey began, I merely wanted to have something to do each day. My previous blog had 55 pageviews -- 45 of which were mine.
Frankly, I don't know why you've continued with me, particularly in the "sad sack, woe is me" times but thank you, thank you, thank you.
I had been thinking about how to wind this all down at some point. Perhaps when my rental was furnished, I would take a video of home and share it and say goodbye.
Or when I could purchase a grill, something that always makes me feel at home.
Maybe my daughter -- who reports she's doing great in Hollywood -- would interview me for a final post.
But then the trip has added this latest blip, where in three weeks I'm putting my stuff into storage and moving back into a hotel. (This one will not have prostitutes or drug dealers next to me. It is, as the Three Stooges used to say, a classy joint.)
One pony is I continue to work and love my job.
Nearly two years ago, other journalists interviewed me about my predicament and the most common question was "What do you want people to know?"
I always said understand the brittle nature of our economy. You can be a hard-working, job-loving employee and still end up in difficult circumstances. Sadly, I moved too much over the years, which is expensive, failing to understand the importance of stability. I have dear friends in all of the 12 cities I've lived in and hundreds of other friends in other places. I truly love so many people I couldn't count -- largely because I have the math skills of a word guy.
Thanks folks and I'll keep telling the story of the Homeless Editor.
Peace and stability unto all of you my friends and brothers and sisters.
Congratulations! And I hope you finally have arrived at some peace and stability.
ReplyDeleteThis will no doubt sound a little weird Rich... heck it sounds weird to me. I read your above entry and for whatever reason, what enters my mind is that final scene in Star Trek II: Wrath of Kahn. The crew is gathered solemnly around the casket/torpedo shell(???) containing of the recently departed heroic Mr. Spock. I can't recite it verbatim and I'm not going to try and watch it just for accuracy's sake, but Capt. Kirk is eulogizing is closest friend and he says something to the affect that 'of all the souls he's encountered in all of his travels... his [Spock's] was the most ....human'
ReplyDeleteAgain, I don't fully understand [if at all] why this particular illustration should come to mind. I suppose it probably has something [or everything?] to do with what Paul Harvey would've called 'the rest of the story'... that being of course that even a fatal case of radiation poisoning wasn't enough to keep the enigmatic Vulcan down... he bounced back. This certainly isn't the end and by all indications... you haven't decided to pack up your typewriter just yet as regards this blog, though no one could begrudge you for taking a break. Thank you for sticking it out, for taking us along for the ride, and enriching each of our lives along the way.
Keep keeping on friend...Live Long, and Prosper

ReplyDeleteMonth's ago, a fellow approached me on Whatsapp, Introducing me to some type of investing, Although I have heard of Crypto currency, Bitcoin, Ripple, and few others, I basically don't know how it works, But I was somewhat convinced by this fellow to invest in their trading platform, after giving it a thought, I decided to invest in this trading platform, I invested about $20,000 during the first month of my Investment, My profit soar high to about $50,000 and I decided to withdraw my funds, hoping I can re invest with my profits. I was unable to withdraw and was asked to make deposits after deposits for me to withdraw.

ReplyDeleteBITCOIN RECOVERY IS REAL!!!
ReplyDelete( MorrisGray830 At gmail Dot Com, is the man for the job ) This man is dedicated to his work and you can trust him more than yourself. I contacted him a year and a half Ago and he didn't succeed. when i got ripped of $491,000 worth of bitcoins by scammers, I tried several recovery programs with no success too. I kept on. And now after so much time Mr Morris Gray contacted me with a success, and the reward he took was small because obviously he is doing this because he wants to help persons like me who fell for crypto scam, and love his job. Of course he could have taken all the coins and not tell me , I was not syncing this wallet for a year, but he didn't. He is the MAN guys , He is! If you have been a victim of crypto scam before you can trust Morris Gray 10000000%. I thought there were no such good genuine guys anymore on earth, but Mr Morris Gray brought my trust to humanity again. GOD bless you sir...you can reach him via ( MORRIS GRAY 830 at Gmaill dot com ) or Whatsapp +1 (607)698-0239..
I want to share my story of how I became a victim of a cryptocurrency and romance scam that went on for several months, I was swindled of everything I have ever owned and went into depression. I thought all hope was lost until I came across an article about Wardrivers Cyber Service and how they can help me recover all that I lost. Wardrivers cyber service was able to recover everything after hacking into their server. You can contact them too if you've had similar encounter in the past.

CRYPTO RECOVERY SERVICE PROVIDER- WEB BAILIFF CONTRACTOR
ReplyDeleteNowadays, where the online realm is a playground for both legitimate businesses and nefarious scammers, navigating the world of investments can be risky. My journey with Web Bailiff Contractor is a testament to the importance of diligence, perseverance, and finding the right ally in the fight against financial fraud. Hailing from Seattle, Washington, I found myself in dire straits after inflation dealt a devastating blow to my business. With few options left, I turned to the world of online trading platforms in hopes of recuperating my losses. Little did I know that this decision would lead me down a treacherous path fraught with deception and deceit. After months of investing my hard-earned savings into what seemed like a promising venture, I was left empty-handed and disillusioned. My initial optimism turned to despair as I realized that not only had I lost a substantial sum of money—$177,230 to be precise—but I had also fallen victim to a sophisticated scam. I was fueled by a burning desire for justice so I embarked on a quest to unmask the perpetrators behind this heinous act. However, my efforts seemed futile, and I found myself at a dead end. It was at this juncture that Web Bailiff Contractor entered the scene like a beacon of hope in the midst of darkness. I was met with professionalism, empathy, and unwavering dedication. Unlike other recovery services I had encountered, Web Bailiff Contractor took the time to understand the intricacies of my case and devise a tailored strategy to pursue justice. Their commitment was not only recovering lost funds but also holding scammers accountable for their actions. They were able to trace the intricate web of deceit that had ensnared me and expose the individuals responsible for orchestrating the scam. In a matter of weeks, I witnessed the tide turning in my favor as Web Bailiff Contractor worked tirelessly to recover my stolen funds. Their transparency and communication throughout the process provided me with much-needed reassurance and peace of mind. Thanks to the unwavering support of the company, I not only reclaimed what was rightfully mine but also played a pivotal role in bringing justice to those who sought to exploit innocent individuals for their own gain. My experience with Web Bailiff Contractor serves as a testament to their integrity, professionalism, and unwavering commitment to fighting financial fraud.if you find yourself ensnared in a similar predicament, I wholeheartedly recommend reaching out to Web Bailiff Contractor.
