This morning I was sitting on a park bench next to a homeless man.

I started a conversation by asking him how he ended up this way.  He said,

"Up until last week, I had it all.  I had plenty to eat, my clothes were

washed and pressed, I had a roof over my head, I had TV 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

was living the dream" he sighed heavily.  "It slips away so quickly"

I felt sorry for him, so I asked, "What happened, Drugs, Alcohol, Divorce, Market crash, Death in the family?"

        "Oh  no, nothing like that," he said.

"I got out of 

    Prison."
