A sewer line frozen from the house to the street creates a scenario that is not only extraordinarily depressing, but wildly expensive. Goodbye carpet, trim, walls, boxed financial records…..

One day and four sizable checks to plumbers and hazmat guys later, I’m working from the kitchen table. You can’t hear the office phone ring over the industrial fans roaring like jet engines, let alone string together a functional thought.

At least it’s better than yesterday, when I watched two rooms floating in sludge.*

*I refuse to call it by its real name
