http://namesofthehomeless.blogspot.com/2009/04/dj-calvin-charles-or-peter.html

Names of the Homeless. For the fascinating stories we don't stop long enough to hear. Saturday, April 25, 2009. DJ, Calvin, Charles, or Peter. He’s a tallish man, in his mid-to-late thirties. He has a long beard, which is a tell-tale sign of two things among the homeless (at least so far as I have been able to observe): 1) he has been on the street for a while, and 2) he has probably never served in the military. The veteran homeless generally have cleanly shaved faces or stubble. 8221; he asked abruptly.

Names of the Homeless. For the fascinating stories we don't stop long enough to hear. Tuesday, November 30, 2010. Tonight my wife and I went to the Chick-fil-A in La Habra. Right over the border in Orange County. It was in the upper forties tonight, just chilly enough to make you uncomfortable. As we were walking into the restaurant we noticed a lady standing to the left of the door. She was in her mid to late thirties, decently-well dressed for the weather, and had bathed recently. But this only elicite...

Names of the Homeless: John: A Failed Interview

http://namesofthehomeless.blogspot.com/2009/08/john-failed-interview.html

Names of the Homeless. For the fascinating stories we don't stop long enough to hear. Wednesday, August 12, 2009. John: A Failed Interview. I recently had an idea to start a podcast on this blog. I thought, "I could get a nice digital recorder, have homeless people tell me their stories, put the whole thing to music, and voice-over some narration like "This American Life" or "All Things Considered". It'll be a big hit! Because I also interview people for my work at uwemp. Labels: All Things Considered.

http://namesofthehomeless.blogspot.com/2012/03/finding-mason-again.html

Names of the Homeless. For the fascinating stories we don't stop long enough to hear. Sunday, March 18, 2012. The forecast says there is a 100% chance of rain tonight. 100%. What should I do about Mason? He is somewhere close. So close. So close to my home. We are warm inside and he’s not. What should we do? My wife and I weigh the options. He could stay in our small one-bedroom apartment for the night. Is that going too far? Do we want this homeless guy to know exactly where we live? Coffee was $2.1...

Names of the Homeless. For the fascinating stories we don't stop long enough to hear. Thursday, August 20, 2009. Sam (Part 2) The Twenty Dollar Bill. Sam is not a Deist. I was wrong.

He was dressed exactly the same, his beard was exactly the same length, the difference this time was that someone had pulled out all of his stops. Look at all th...

I have gotten some e-mails from readers recently that have contained personal anecdotes about homeless experiences and/or accounts of their own lives on the streets. Some of them are pretty interesting in their perspective and detail; so I decided to extend an opportunity to anyone who reads this blog. A unique, knowable. Think about how different Reag...
