Discovered source of moisture in my basement: Bottom seam of water heater was puddled with water, implying internal leak. 
Time for a new one. Drained old this morning, picked up new one at lowes, installed it over lunch break. booyah. I was worried about it, but I'm not sure why.
Quick question though: Am I the only one who flips the breaker, checks for a dead circuit with the meter, checks the meter with a live circuit, and then checks the dead circuit again...and still gets nervous touching bare wires?
