What a night!!!

This week was the first week of the high school football playoffs in Michigan. Hillsdale HS traveled to Jackson to face Lumen Christi. This is a HUGE game. Lumen is great at all sports, and to advance in any kind of state playoff system, a team has to beat Lumen.

Hillsdale was leading for most of the game. Without getting into details Hillsdale lost 20-14. With this loss, football season comes to a close for Dan(That's the prelude of this story)


It is always sad to see football end. When Dan came home at around midnight all he wanted to do was unwind. As he lay on the couch he kept hearing water. He checked all the toilets to make sure that they weren't running. They checked out OK. Then he went downstairs.

What he found at the bottom of the stairs was a flooded basement. 36 hours earlier we switched from propane to natural gas, and with the switch we had a tankless water heater installed. Well, the valves to the water heater sprung a leak and water was spraying everywhere-including all my pictures waiting to be scrapbooked.


It was 3:00 am before we got to bed. Not really the way to end an already disappointing night.
