Over the past few years every time Ed has taken some time off away from home with family or friends, or even on business, I have had a crisis to deal with in his absence. He was in CA after his father's death when I got a phone call from Allison in China telling me she was extremely ill and coughing up blood (in the throes of the SARS epidemic), he was in Nigeria working when I came home one day and discovered 4" of water on the downstairs floors (the washing machine broke while I was out), he was somewhere I can't remember when we discovered water pouring through the ceiling in the den downstairs, we had to shut the water off at the street till the plumber could get here, the next day, which was also the day we were having a baby shower for Erin at our house! Thank goodness for barrels of water in storage! He was in Mexico last year when Casey (the dog), fell down the stairs and died, and he is on an off road trip this weekend when the hot water tank goes out! I came home from work and discovered water running out of the garage, had to call our plumber (who unfortunately for him, responds to my crisises all the time!). By 7pm last night he finally had our new hot water tank in and we not only had running water again, but hot water too! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
