Ambidextrous?

 One of the things that I love is helping righties see the world ( as much as they can ) through the eyes of a left handed person. Like I've said in my blog that I wrote  ( https://fromthemouthofavoicelessactor.blogspot.com/2018/05/always-in-my-right-mind.html )  like most things in the world, if it doesn't personally effect you, then you most likely don't think about it as much. Over the years I have had conversations with my wife about the struggles left handed people go through in a right handed dominated world and she has seen it as well. So the other day, without speaking about it, she starts a conversation that I have never thought of before. She said, " I wonder how many people who claim to be ambidextrous, are truly left handers that at some point in their lives had some sort of negative influence to make them also righties. Now before you say, that doesn't happen anymore, I'll stop you right there and say "Yes, yes it does". Thoughts?  Be safe everyone.

Monty Python's Michael Palin

 

The month? September. The Year? 1974. Two years before I was born. A gentleman by the name of Ron Devillier. Who? You may ask. Ron was the program manager of the local PBS station (KERA) in 1974.  Often credit would go to Robert Wilson (Owen and Luke’s Dad) who was president and general manager of the television station at the time. But without Ron pitching it to Robert, Monty Python's Flying Circus would have had to have waited a long time to be on the air in the States. Mainly, because at the time, no one else wanted it or take a chance on it. A rep with Time Life told DeVillier that if KERA didn’t buy it, then the BBC “will take it back and they will bury it wherever they bury shows they can’t sell”.  The rest is how they say, history. From my earliest memories, at the same time I was falling in love with Doctor Who, I was falling in love with Monty Python. In true form, my friend Dave obtained this autograph of the hilarious Python alum for me. Yes, none other than the awesome Michael Palin. To say this put a HUGE smile on my face would be an understatement. This is my first and only "Python" autograph. Thank you my friend, and thank you Michael Palin.
