Once in downtown Philadelphia I went out on my fire escape to secure some potted plants for when the hurricane hit Phila. and so I stepped out on the platform with an umbrella, boots on, a blouse, no skirt ....just underwear and a half slip (didn't want to get cat hair on my wool skirt so I waited to put my skirt on last....The door slammed behind me. I was locked out. I went down the fire escape steps, walked out the alley, back to Spruce Street and went to a neighbor to call a locksmith. No one wanted to come out because of the weather. I waited for 3 hours and finally found someone to come out and let me in. My slip was black and matched my Andrew Geller boots. That really impressed my neighbors and the locksmith, I am sure. I will never forget that feeling - I looked like a half dressed Mary Poppins. I missed a half day of work!
Robyn, I am so glad Christian didn't panic and all turned out just fine. I hope he thought it was funny. I bet you won't do that again!
