THAT WONDEROUS STAR
Early morning of March 21
2017.
God and the fates...or
maybe just the hot water
heater, have a twisted
sense of humor.
Middle of night—hot
water heater is gurgling.
Kelly tries to fix it and takes a cap
off, without shutting the
water off and hot
water spews all over
the pantry—(with Mary the
Plumber's wife on the phone,
the cat snooping around)
