Windsor Knot

Do you remember how to tie a Windsor knot the way your father taught you on graduation day in eighth grade the man who wore a tie twice perhaps at most-- on the day he got married and the day he was put to rest, the same tie for both events. Then almost every day for 40 years you tied that Windsor Knot because office attire required it. Now you haven't worn a tie since the day of your retirement. You'll need that knot twice more for certain-- as pall bearer for besotted Uncle Pat and for yourself the day you're buried. Both days your Windsor Knot had better pop out right or the ghost you don't believe in may drop by to show you one last time how to tie it. Donal Mahoney
