Left Handed People Rule!

I am Left handed, and proud of it.
I have a Left Hander's calendar, clock and notepad among other things.

Granted, it's not always easy being left-handed.
When I was in elementary school, I wondered why I was the only one who was blessed with pen ink all over my left hand when writing.
It took me a while to realize that when I'm writing, my left hand (with pen) is skating right across the newly inked paper.
Not an issue for those of you who are right handed.

For some reason though, I bat right handed, but alas, I don't do very well.
Go figure.
