Good News Tuesday has a payphone story tonight. It is yellow, it sits in a university coffee shop in Boston, and it is connected to a seniors home in Nevada. Young people pick it up. Older people answer. The research says both groups are among the most socially isolated. The payphone says maybe that is not an accident.

There is also something closer to home. Thirteen years after a divorce made buying a house financially impossible, child support payments finally done, kids grown and gone, next week there are keys. The people who listened through the hard years get to hear the other side of it.

Two of the most isolated groups in the country. One yellow phone between them. That is the kind of good news that takes a minute to sit with properly.
