Quinn: I remember you were always an oddball with your handedness, and I remember that “switcheroo” story. I think if I were a teacher, I’d go out of my way to develop ambidexterity in my pupils — good suggestion, Mike.

And Brian –

1) Devin Harris takes a lot of charges, and gets steals… he’s playing within the rules. So I dig it. But I guarantee he’s still feeling that knee — I saw that play up close and personal and it looked painful. 2) And I’m going to have to agree. DIRK FOR MVP!

We’d have to take time from the other subjects, but I seem to remember lots of tracing and paste-eating from back then, skills I rarely use today.

Allegedly I was left-handed but switched in kindergarten when my teacher got frustrated with me, so maybe that’s why.

I feel like I'm the only right-handed person in the world that cuts meat with the off hand. I feel like it's a waste of time to put the fork in my left hand so that I can cut with my right. I guess that's why I have always gone with the flow.</p> <p>Also, I guess video games would be a problem without my left thumb.
