5. So was Bill Clinton. So was George H. W. Bush.

Of the last four presidents, the only one who was right handed was Dubya.

And he could barely write!

7. My left-handed son once informed me that he was the "smartest in

the family" because he was left handed and both sides of his brain were working instead of just one....sigh. We let him believe it, it's nice to reinforce a kids fantasy now and then...lol.

10. I Should Have Known that Miss Jackeens Wouldn't Miss this One

I have been strangely obssessed with this picture since I saw it earlier today. The Secret Service guy in the background looks bemused...

Brian Lara is very easy on the eyes...yes, I'm objectivifying him also...
