Today is a day to be celebrated. It is a day of celebration for people who are left-handed.

I only do one thing right handed, and that is play golf. Of course I haven't played in forever, but that's it.

People who are right handed never really get the discrimination that we left handed people face day to day. I play the guitar left handed and have to pay a premium price to get a guitar that will work for me. I have to search for a seat at a table that is on the left end so I don't elbow people. Scissors... well don't even get me started on scissors. There's no wonder we have a higher mortality rate than right handed people.

In college, my 2nd semester of Greek was strange... there were 13 of us, and 7 of the 13 people were left handed. I didn't stick around past that first month of the class, but every time we took a quiz, Sansone would comment about how many left-handers there were. We all just decided we were overly smart because we were left handed and that is why we even made it to the 2nd semester of that class.

Well, as the old joke goes, there is at least one good thing about being left handed... at least I'm in my right mind.
