EPISODE 584 WHY THE DELAY?
\nalan skeoch June 4, 2022
\nI was shocked and flattered at the meeting of the Castlefield Institute on Thursday when John Wardle presented me with a gift of a large imitation of the sculptured \u201cThinker\u201d. As a result I am working on a story about several trials in my life. No big deal. I know stories that are self congratulatory seldom are read. Who cares? This story, if I have the nerve to send it, might be understood best by left handers who are only 10% of the human population and forced to get along in a right handed world. That can be very difficult. In my case, I still have trouble telling left from right. To do so quickly I must move my thumb on my left hand to touch my baby finger which was smashed and rebuilt as a result of a high school football injury. Now done as a reflex. In the end there is triumph which some readers might find cloying. (Is cloying a word?)
\nThanks John for your thoughtfulness as always.
