No More Doorknobs!

It was a hot summer day when I locked myself out of the house after driving home from the coast. A first. When a credit card didn't work to unlock it (is there a trick to this?) I proceeded to knock off the doorknob with a hammer. As you can tell from my current pictures, I am a petite woman and apparently not as strong as I thought I was. Although I did succeed in doorknob destruction, my efforts still would not unlock the door.

Even a screw driver prying it gently did not work. I know why people wear baseball caps now. To keep their hair out of their eyes. By now you must have quite a visual. Fortunately for me, a neighbor came by with my house key. I got the door knob off (from the inside) and now had a hole a tad bigger than the knob. I hired a carpenter who applied Bondo, reattached a new knob.

So what do I really want? I want a best friend above all, someone to share thoughts, travel, life and someone handy, you know, in the rare case of doorknob removal. There are so many things I enjoy - hiking, traveling, yoga, mindfulness, meditation, philosophy, beliefs, rollerblading, the arts, new experiences.

What excites me? I like eclectic people; people who are open, confident, sensitive with lots of interests. He would be someone who makes our relationship their first priority while finding that delicate balance of inter-dependence.

A loyal and passionate person (did the doorknob story reinforce that?), I enjoy energetic people, people who have ties to their community, love the outdoors, reading a good book, and perhaps discussing it. I love to explore through travel, conversation and intimacy. It is important to be in good shape.

If you are between 60 and 65, live in the eastern U.S. send me a note.
