Awakened from a short night's sleep by Harriet in emergency mode -- hose connection under sink in main bathroom had become disconnected and water was spraying everywhere. Carpet wet down hallway, I in bathrobe became the boy with his finger in the dike (allusion sounds suspect these days) attempting to hold back floodwaters. Was able to reconnect, but only temporarily as water pressure was too great, and all surfaces slippery and unco-operative. Retrieved outside hose, routing much water out the front door, some remaining handled as a bucket brigade to bathtub while Harriet called 911 and roused our handyman neighbor Bud (H and I are not exactly handy-around-the-house-types). Water main was eventually found (hiding in plain sight below where I had retrieved garden hose), shut off. Harriet has appointment in Santa Rosa, so I am awaiting plumber. Had to cancel class today, but will allow me to catch up on grading, backup copies of all music for Halfway Mark, and publication preparation of Mice and Men.
Off this evening to review SF Sym and then attend the end of SFCCO Board Meeting...
