Right now, I work right handed. However, my left eye is dominant. I was told that when I was four or so, I attended a pre-kindergarden class run by a local Catholic church. According to my parents, the penguins (nuns) were very upset that I was trying to write left-handed, and they tried to break me of that bad 'habit'. I can just imagine them shouting 'Sinestra!' at me as they slapped the crayon out of my left hand with a yardstick. My handwriting never has been very good, probably because of that early experience. I tried writing left-handed a few months ago, only to find that I couldn't do it. I had absolutely no fine motor control, and the end-result looked worse than a child's scrawl. I may try to improve on this in the future, although right now, I just don't have the time. Fortunately, I can type, although the luddite in me wishes that I didn't have to be chained to a keyboard in order to express myself.
