Breakfast is over.
I slip on a shirt and pick a tie.
And damn, suddenly I can't remember how to knot a tie! This is bizarre. For years my fingers know the way, tie the knot blindly. It was an unconscious capability that degrades at this early morning hour to a conscious incapability! And no matter how hard I try... I can't remember. Grr. I try and fumble around a bit, but my fingers refuse to do their job. This tie won't be a success. Try again, and again, and again. In desperation I consult my own story of the 7th May.

This piece will be the front of the knot later. |
6. Circle the other side, get to the front from inside.
Below the front of step 5 and ready |
