Reflections on an excellent airport shoe shine

I travel frequently for work, and I’m pretty hard on my shoes. To help them last a little longer, I frequent airport shoe shines. Even if you’re not a jet setter, you’ve probably seen them. Businessmen sit on pedestals while a flurry of polish and rags brings tired leather back to life. 

When I sat down at Executive Shine, I said, “Hello,” and the shoeshiner went to work. Her nametag read, “Yordanos.”
