iFC and dead phone

I went to IndyFurCon this past weekend.  I had a good time, got to see some folks I knew from the cons I've been to before, played a few games of Magic and Dominion, laughed a lot at Whose Lion Is It Anyway? and at 2 and Kage, spent a little time at the dance Saturday, took some pix, enjoyed Bucktown's concert, bought a couple of things from the dealers.  Didn't find my way to any parties, and got fewer hugs than I hoped for.

I'm only posting this now because when I got home, my phone was dead.  It's OK at the jack on the side of the house, nothing at the phone jacks in the house.  I'm now connected with a 100' extension cord plugged directly into the outside jack, and I have to figure out to get the inside wiring fixed.
