Polishing for Prom
The prom prep is swinging into high gear here.
The corsage has been ordered, the suit picked up, the vest and tie procured, and the hairs cut.
Last thing to do?
Polish the shoes.
I didn't realize people actually polished their shoes anymore. We've become such a disposable society--if things break, we toss 'em rather than fix 'em. If shoes look scuffed, we get new ones. But Jim sat down with Paul and taught him a little lesson on thriftiness and making do by showing him how to polish his shoes.
And just by accident, I caught Paul smiling on camera. He had been making annoying faces, but then as he laughed about my inability to get a "good" photo of him, I captured that elusive Paul-ish smile.
