“I’m glad you’re home, darling,” said Elizabeth when we got back to the house on Saturday.<\/p>\n

“I kept having to call the landlord…<\/p>\n

“I called him first because there was a leak in the basement…and then because the fire alarm went off and I couldn’t figure out how to turn it off. And then, calling him just got to be a habit, I guess…because you weren’t here…<\/p>\n

“So when I got stuck in the snow, I didn’t know who to call. So I called him. And he came right over with a couple Latin Americans. They helped push me out of the snow…<\/p>\n

“And then, I got my finger stuck in the corkscrew. I know this sounds silly. But I was opening a bottle of wine and a bit of my skin got caught in the mechanism… And the more I tried to get it out, the more stuck it became…<\/p>\n

“What could I do? It wasn’t an emergency…I couldn’t go to the emergency ward… Or, I guess I could have gone to the hardware store…or maybe to the kitchen appliances department…<\/p>\n

“I didn’t know who to call, so I called the landlord… I guess I’ve come to depend on him…”<\/p>\n

“Sounds like I got back just in time…”<\/p>\n
