Squaring the Slate
Advancing across the speckled kitchen granite, I noticed our weekly gridiron fixture card had slipped out of standard alignment on the refrigerator door. A heavy red magnetic clip had drifted downward, leaving the upcoming slate of NFL matchups hanging at an unacceptable tilt. I squared my stance, planted my sneakers firmly against the cool stone, and gripped both ridged edges of the magnet with two hands. With steady, athletic leverage, I drove the clasp three inches up the brushed stainless steel, locking the schedule perfectly level at eye height. A premier campaign demands keeping your eyes squarely on the upcoming board.
