I did a major boo boo earlier today. And I sense my husband is not going to make me forget.

I forgot our home keys when we went out for dinner. And he had no duplicates. And worse, my landlady was away on a holiday. I don’t think what can get any worse than that.

Luckily for us (and me, I should say), my landlady’s son went to her house to feed the dog and we were able to get the duplicate key. Or else, we will be freezing by our door and I’ll be dead meat once we get keys inside.

This has made me think about getting a keyless lock. You know the ones you see at the movies where people use their thumb’s fingerprint to open a door or scan their hand or eye to gain access to another room. Having a keyless lock would be so very cool and hi-tech, as my son would claim. The only thing that is making me reconsider getting a keyless lock for our house is its trial and error. It’s relatively new to the mass market and I don’t grasp the whole idea of fingerprint scanning. What if my fingerprint wasn’t clean on that day – will they eliminate dust particles? What if I have a very general fingerprint – will thieves and burglars be able to “fake” it?

I think I’ll stick to keys this time. And make sure to run triplicates and keep them in every purse I use.
