New York City

Metropolitan Diary: Laces and canes

Dear Diary:

I was walking to work one day when I noticed an elegantly dressed older woman who was walking with a cane. Her shoelace was untied.

I stopped her and began to tie it for her.

“I am a mess today, and I detest these thin shoelaces,” she said in lovely British accent.

I said that she was stunning, and she thanked me profusely.

Arriving at that elevator bank at my office, I saw an older man who also had a cane and an untied shoelace.

Do I? Yes!

“Have I got a gal for you,” I said to him.
