For the whole list, here's some reassurance that this is a bad assumption,
especially when I plan to be away.

There is more than one backup person who has physical access to the server.
The only missing piece is a pager notification if the server goes down.
Julia knows how to reach me any time; she also knows how to reach my primary
backup, who actually knows more about administering this stuff than even I
do.  And he feeds our cat, who wouldn't do too well if no one administered
*him* for three weeks.

As for my family, we're muddling through with a lot of help from friends and
family.

Nick
