Did he grow up with teachers fussing at him for being left handed? I think it's fascinating how some people end up being left handed versus right handed. What determines that? Is there a right/left brain connection??? Interesting. I'm sure there are studies done out there but I don't have time to look into it tonight. Ha!

As a matter of fact, most times when Daniel's name comes up, Thom is sure to point out the fact he is also left handed.

Yummmm. And maybe a half-bale of hay, after that.</mild> I <i>tried</i> to get Rachel to eat before she left, but she didn't seem to have much of an appetite. As it was, she was lucky to get what she did -- there were many eyes watching that last bit of stuffed shell casserole rather hungrily. David said to me last night, "Daddy, you need to practice throwing the baseball with me. You don't do it very often." I thought that his gentle rebuke was rather charitable, since I don't remember <i>ever</i> throwing a baseball with him. He is a nice boy.
