This morning I am experiencing a highly unusual moment in my life, or I suppose the life of almost any twentysomething. I woke up 2 full hours before my alarm clock on a Friday- yeah that means at 4:30 AM I couldn't catch another ounce of sleep. I've seized the moment, already bathed and breakfasted an hour before I need to be out the door! Thus a moment to introduce you to our across the way neighbor:

Well, his door anyway. As you can see, he's a guy who takes safety seriously. Catching a glimpse of whoever lives behind this well-guarded home is rare, but I always know when he is coming and going. His song is jingling of keys and the turning of multiple locks, a clinging and clanking series of steps he takes on both sides of the threshold. Go ahead, count the locks on his door... 5 keyholes and there's no telling how many chainslides on the other side!! Makes me feel like the 3 keys between me and the streets means I'm living life on the edge.
Meanwhile, aren't the doors of our building lovely? Here are two bits of my everyday comings and goings for your visual feasting: our elegant peephole and grand doorknob.


Thanks for the photos, Leah!
