Owning a home has some wonderful advantages.  I know much of it is an illusion, but it is nice to know I have a little sanctuary carved out in the world.  Last night, that illusion was shattered.  I arrived at home, looking forward to a nice weekend of sloth, when my wife met me at the door with, "we have a problem".  Not good.  Not cool.  Not the way I want to start a Friday night.

Little did we know, our house came with an indoor swimming pool. 

While the family was at work and school, a pipe froze and broke.  Central New York is currently in the middle of doing its winter thing, which is to say freeze and dump snow, and this old house gave in.  Our entire basement flooded.  We were able to shut down the section of pipe that broke, and get some sleep, but not until we cleaned out our entire laundry room (soaked clothes - yay) and the finished living room that doubles as the BV sound studio.

The damage restoration crew is here right now, and they think it'll be all dry in a few days, but it may cause some changes in where/how/if we record the next show.
