I Tied My Shoes Today--With Apologies to Sgt. Pepper

Today, on the fourteenth day after my injury, I tied my shoes.
A big deal.
I tried it the day before but there was too much pain. I don't know if this signals healing or if my muscles devised a new technique.
Anyway, not having to have someone else tie your shoes is a big deal...
...so, while I was walking the world's greatest church greeter these words came to mind along with the tune to the Beatles', A DAY IN THE LIFE. For those old enough to know it:


I tied my shoes today, oh boy.
I am a blesséd man who made a grade.
And, though the knot was rather sad.
I just had to laugh.
I took a photograph.


It stopped there.


Actually, I didn't take the picture.
