Five years ago, our furnace quit on New Year's Eve.
Four years ago, our furnace quit on Christmas Day.
Yesterday, our furnace quit. Our babysitter, who's been checking on the cats, called to say that our hosue was 48 degrees, and that the furnace was off. My neighbor shut off the water main last night, and the repair folks are meeting the babysitter at the house sometime over the next few hours.
I'm dropping Maggie and the kids off at skiing in forty-five minutes, then coming back here to make sure I'm reachable during the repairs. Which sucks, because it's 25 degrees and climbing: looks to be a beautiful day to ski.
Alas. Hopefully I'll be able to ski in the afternoon.
Love to all. Even you, the folks who miscommunicated about who should be where, when.

Sorry to hear about the furnace. Thank God for neighbors and babysitters who will turn off the water for you! What a mess it is to come home and find out the "hard way" the furnace is broken.
Here's to hitting the slopes this afternoon.
Hey fartypants, call or write so I know you're alive! Anyone could be writing these posts :-) Did you get my message?
Sounds like the vaca is fun!
Speak soon!
Oh no! I've had a furnace fail before. We had one dry fire a couple of times. We're on our 3rd in 15 years. At $3000+ a pop, it gets maddening.
As for the skiing, we were at Catamount and it was lovely. Bad news- they closed at 4:30 today, but for the REST of the week, they close at 9 or 10. AHHHHHHHHHH! After a 2 hour drive, that was disappointing.
No furnace disaster. Hope it wokrs out.
