Now that Blogger has recently introduced its new beta version of itself, I have taken the leap and, created a brand new blog using it, which means this is my final blog post to this particular version.The new blog is now Norsehorse's Home Turf, which is the one I will be doing my varied personal type of blogging at from here on out.It can be found at: norsehorseshometurf.blogspot.com

Have come across an old essay of mine today, which was a shorter version among several different versions drawn from a much lengthier original piece I wrote about four years ago or so (here):If "home is where one hangs one's hat," where do people who are living homeless hang their hats? It is both strange and ironic that even within this nation of wealth and plenty, many are forced to live on the

We had been experiencing a heat wave of sorts recently, with at least part of the last week as well as the weekend being quite hot and humid, something which always makes it tough for me to sleep well or much during such times.On Monday I finally got myself into the usual place for a short spell in order to beat the heat, clean up and rest (as I often do when I am living homeless), especially

Today (Thursday, June 15, 2006) I am only one week (i.e., seven days) away from having to move out of the place I have been staying at through this past Winter and, without anywhere else to land, will once again be living homeless. Even if it was only on a temporary basis, I have greatly enjoyed being housed these last eight months.At least it is Summertime anyway.

This morning I ended up watching the television movie The Brooke Ellison Story on the A&E Channel. Actually this is the second time I watched it, having also done so several months ago.This time around however I did an online search about Brooke Ellison and came upon her Website and found that she is running for the New York State Senate (2nd District).

When Ruth Galloway attempts suicide after the death of her husband, a chance encounter with Billy, a homeless woman who rescues Ruth from a pill overdose, helps each woman discover a life worth living.Ruth is intrigued by Billy, whose life is vastly different from her own.

*Updated 4x*For those who miss the broadcast either in whole or in part, like myself (i.e., missing part of it -- while trying to call in to the show to address an issue raised about accountability and managing to miss a little of it), can listen to the show once they post it up sometime later, here.*Update 1*: For my part, as I missed a little of it while I was focused on my blogging as well as

*Updated*The VT Edition show is on and Philip Baruth (Vermont Daily Briefing) included a mention of yours truly and this blog, letting people know I would be live blogging, saying I would be posting four or five blog posts up during the show. Yikes! Not sure I can keep up with that as I am too slow. Please know I never promised that many posts, had only mentioned I would be blogging during the

My latest blog project is actually a result of a suggestion I made last year to Homelessness Marathon founder Jeremy Weir Alderson, just after the close of the 8th annual national radio broadcast, asking them to consider including a blog as a component of their Website and broadcast.Jeremy and I have traded a slew of e-mails on the subject and related matters since then.
