I STILL HAD IT ALL

I talked with a homeless man this morning and asked him how he ended up this way.  He said, "Up until last week, I still had it all.  I had plenty to eat, my clothes were washed and pressed,  I had a roof over my head,  I had HDTV and Internet, and I went to the gym, the pool, and the library.  I was working on my MBA on-line. I had no bills and no debt. I even had full medical coverage. I felt sorry for him, so I asked, "What happened? Drugs? Alcohol?, Divorce?"  "Oh no, nothing like that," he said. "No, no....   I was paroled.
