hey… pssst… by any chance do you have David Mather’s contact info?  also - is he a normal person nowadays or has he gone dangerously insane?  just wondering.


Happy belated birthday.  I don’t recall how long it’s been since i talked to him, but he seemed the same to me.


got his number?


how long was it?  5 years?  15 years?


(415) 596-6440 is what i have.  I think more like 5 years. Like i think i saw him somewhere unexpectedly.


cool.  thank ye kindly.  😊


hey - i just talked to Bryan.  i thought he would have explained, but i guess not -


Lisa is asking for a divorce and i’m here in SF licking my wounds.


if you need someone to house-sit a dilapidated building, i think that would be an amazing opportunity for me.  i’d even pony-up rent.


just a thought.


Have you seen the place? I would guess it is probably a step up from your step van, given that it has a toilet and a shower, but it’s not great.


And sorry about the rest


i’ve been binge-ing home renovation shows the last year…. i think i’m very interested.


Bryan said there are walls that need to come down?  😊


There isn’t a kitchen. There’s a kitchenette with a sink and mini fridge. And a dishwasher. No oven


And the roof leaks but I’m getting that fixed


yep.  i get it.  barely habitable.  but as you say - better than a step van.  i’m still interested.


would you mind if i put an oven in?


Well i want to put in a kitchen and a bedroom and a bathroom


see?  great minds.


Uh huh


HEH.


think about it.  i’m definitely crazy.  probably not a good idea having me in your building.


but i might do something cool too.


Right. I will think about it


hey… have i told you about Jimmy?  he’s my new friend.  he wrote a letter for me to send to you.


Brian — hope you’re doing okay.

Lisa is serious about the divorce, and it looks like I’m going to need a more permanent-ish base in San Francisco for a while. I’ve been thinking about that SF unit you mentioned — if it’s still something you’d consider, it could really work for me. I’m looking for something calm and month-to-month, and I’m totally fine with it being mid-fix / rough as long as it’s livable.

One thing I want to be thoughtful about: I get the obvious concern here — I’m in a weird life chapter, and you don’t want tenant drama or to feel “stuck” with me. Totally fair. I don’t want this to be “helping” energy — you’re not my safety net. If we do it, I’d only want to do it with clear boundaries in writing so you feel protected, and if it ever stops working, we have an easy, respectful off-ramp (month-to-month, deposit, whatever terms make you comfortable).

Also: I think I’d actually be good for a space like that. My current office is in a similarly under-construction situation, and I’ve made it feel pretty great without changing anything permanently — just lighting / rugs / plants / furniture / gear. All of that is coming with me to CA anyway, and it would look really cool in your place while you renovate (and I’ll keep it clean and treat the building gently).

I’m going to send a couple pics so you can see what I mean. If you’re open to it, we can talk basic terms (rent + deposit + ground rules) whenever it’s convenient. And if it’s not the right fit, no worries at all — I appreciate you considering it.

K.

P.S. Although, I probably should see it first before signing anything.
