Today, we rule the day…tomorrow the world…bwah hah hah hah hah. INTERNATIONAL LEFT-HANDERS DAY celebrates that special 10% of the population who mystify right handers by the way we write with pen and pencil (that is by design by the way). Awhile back, left-handedness was a sign of the devil and students who wrote left-handed were forcibly converted to right hand. My first-grade teacher wanted to try and change my hand, but Mom stepped in and said no. Here is to all of my fellow lefties and southpaws. Celebrate your day. Our Global Control Meeting is at 11:00 today.
