You would think...

You would think that a person with a college education could figure out how to tie a pleasant looking knot in a little bit of fabric. Apparently not.

When I wear a tie, which is becoming more frequent, I invariably spend 15 minutes in front of my computer, poring through Windsor and Double Windsor tutorials on the Internet. The problem with every tutorial I've found is that they are composed of static images. I find myself at Step 3, looking at the image for Step 4 and completely unable to imagine the step in between. Where is Step 3.5? How in the world did he get his tie to look so trim when mine looks like a massive goiter?

You can imagine my joy then, at finding this video as I tooled around YouTube.

Better living through Internet edification!

YouTube is one of those things I am convinced we will be embarassed by in 10 years. When we watch "I love the 00's" on VH1, YouTube will be right up there. Like Cabbage Patch, bigwheels and Poprocks were for the 80's :) Still, I'm loving it right now!

I know. All our inane moments are there for all to see. We might regret that someday. On a side note: count your blessings that you don't work at my place of business, or you'd be tying that tie a lot more often!
