Lefthanded and owns a dachshund? Sounds like w wonderful person to know. I envy you, Rap.
Rumncoke, I agree that people should use both hands as much as possible. I often tell people, "Make friends with your left hand."
It's sad to hear people say, "I wanted to play piano (for example), but I can't get anywhere with my left hand." Every task that uses both hands takes time to master. Messages have to go from one hand to the brain, across the brain and to the other hand. We need to learn that there will be a period of awkwardness and defensiveness at first, but then the skill will come.
