The Grand Shoelace Loop
A long, braided white shoelace was sprawling completely loose across the woven runner rug! Morning inspection requires absolute, tip-top order! I grabbed the clear plastic aglet with both hands, hoisted the heavy woven cord right over my shoulder, and marched straight up the curved tongue of a colossal blue sneaker. One big loop over, a mighty tuck through the center knot, and heave! I braced my shiny black shoes against the breathable mesh fabric and pulled with every ounce of sponge power. Snap! A crisp, razor-sharp bow sprang right into place, perched proud across the eyelets. That shoe is officially primed for championship duty!
