Yeah, so, I don't even have many details yet, but a very very dear friend of mine whom I have known since the late 1970's and who has been in the same apartment in San Francisco for most of that time, had been under grave threat for years and years from his landlord who sought to evict him (in order to get out from the rent control bind, or flip the building, or something who knows?) This had been a horror for decades. My friend tried to find ways to move but his health is not real good and he has no really reliable income other than disability money. He supported himself as a freelance illustrator for ages and lots of that dried up for him as his health got bad.
Apparently, something just happened which means the threat is over, and the landlord has lost his chance to evict my friend, and there is some money coming in to keep the rent paid.... He didn't even want to tell me details just yet in his email, wants to take it in for a while first, but it is huge.
This has weighed on me a lot! and there has been nothing I could do to help other than listen and send him an occasional 10 bucks in PayPal... This is like a 30 year struggle he has been burdened with, now over. Please let that be really really true!
Oh I hope and pray this stays real and does not turn out to be a false light for him. Dayamm!

And, if you have really good news that lightens your heart, go on and tell about it here too!
