Left-handers Day: Coming Soon

Can I make a confession, here … ?

Can I … ?

You see, I’ll happily admit to anyone that meets me — as and when the conversation goes that way — that I’m left-handed.

A southpaw.

Cack-handed.

Which is possibly one of the more offensive terms for the simple fact that, in many of my day-to-day tasks I tend to prefer to use my left hand.

Writing and using a computer mouse are just two of them.

Oh …

And playing guitar … But that’shardly what I’d everyday, if you see what I mean …

But, at any rate, I’m a south paw.

One that’s written happily — if not as extensively as he’d’ve liked — about the fact.

But while I’m a southpaw who’s love to add more about the subject, I’m ALSO going to happily admit that — I think — there’s not much I, as an individual, can add to the subject, except here and there.

Apart from one thing that I try to highlight, each year.

Did you know that, since 1976, August 13th — this coming Saturday, this year — is International Left-Handers Day?

Now, I’m not too sure about the group that first created or why they chose August 13th.

But … ?

But I do know I try and mention it, a few days before.

And do a couple of posters.

Oh …

AND do a teaser on the day.

And I’ll be honest … ?

I’m thinking southpaw, Leonardo da Vinci, would have NO problem with the upcoming video.

I think I’ve excelled myself with that one …

Post a Comment

I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?

I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.

Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.

Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.

Thank you.
