Well, I think most of you heard about our exciting Christmas Eve. For those of you who didn't: around 10:00 pm we heard a loud boom/bang/explosion downstairs. After enacting our evacuation plan on a cold winter night we later realized that our furnace had "flared out." The exploding gas and air had blown the doors open on our utility closet. Fearing damage to the furnace and the potential for a gas leak we sought refuge at Erik and Jaime's. For some reason they were still awake at 12:30 when we arrived. They let us sleep downstairs.
Christmas morning was fun. Santa was still able to find the refugees, despite the snow and change of address. We returned to our house that afternoon. A technician came out later to relight the furnace. So far, our house is still intact.
I had a technician come out today to diagnose the furnace. He recommended replacing it. For those of you contemplating this, you better save up about $3000.
Lisa flew out of Denver last night. Her flight was only delayed a couple of hours. Adding to that the two hours early that she arrived and she only had to sit in the airport for four hours with nothing to do. She said she watched people.
She'll be gone until the 2nd. In the meantime, I'm paying the babysitter big bucks to watch my kids while I'm at work. Lisa said I pay to much, but wouldn't you pay someone a lot to take care of something invaluable? How about four somethings?
I got a U2 Joshua Tree CD for Christmas, which I'm listening to now. It brings back good memories of stake dances and water ski trips on the Snake River.
Keep your pilot lights lit.
