While dangling from the basement drain pipe, bare feet
about 4 foot from the glass strewn floor, it occurred to me
that I really needed to try to do something about these
situations in which I constantly find myself.
No one in my family is ever surprised when I run back
into the house to look for a coat hanger to open my care
because I have locked the keys inside. Unfortunately,
sometimes there is nothing handy with which to trip the lock
and other, more desparate measures must be taken.
This was the case one spring day when I left work and
returned home for lunch. But worst of all, not only did I lock
my car keys in the car, my house key was locked in also.
