Our brother Michael is "sorta" Left-handed. This kid in the photo can pitch w/ either hand!

Left-handedness and intelligence
In his book Right-Hand, Left-Hand,[29] Chris McManus of University College London argues that the proportion of left-handers is rising and left-handed people as a group have historically produced an above-average quota of high achievers. He says that left-handers' brains are structured differently in a way that widens their range of abilities, and the genes that determine left-handedness also govern development of the language centres of the brain.
- Between 7 & 10% of the World's population is Left-handed.
- Two of our last three Presidents were/are Left-handers.
- The two Left-handers were also Left Leaning.

Judith Ann came home on Monday, 3/22.
She went for Surgery on 3/11...everything seems to be normal now. Normal being: in pain, depressed, hungry but not hungry, uncomfortable, frustrated, very tired, etc. I say Normal 'cause brother Michael visited today and they were comparing Notes...
- Michael actually lifted his shirt up to show us his scars
- Judy Ann matched him by lifting her shirt & showing him wear her stitches are still in place!
- Leg swelling
- Ankle swelling
- Foot swelling
- At that point I had to go walk the Dog...
- Not even a BM could do that!
- And we can do some serious Weight Gaining
- Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers & thank you Mary for the Bean Soup, Chicken catchatoori(?) and Chili con Carney....by the way, did you make any Cherry Cheese Cake or Soda Bread ?

Looking good in 1956!

Think of all that has happened since this photo was taken. I've never seen this shot before, made me a little misty, I must say. Everyone decked out in their Easter finest. Very cool stuff. Does Timmy have any more photos we've never seen? One last question, is it me or, does Gerry's head look like it's on someone else's body??
Calling Pea... Come in Pea! Where is the pea?

Brother Michael loaned me this HBO Series Video

Judith Ann got through the Operation...
Dr. Bridges called me after the operation and said everything went well. He did a Quadruple bypass. I am feeling guilty as I type this cause I didn't go to the Hospital to see her after the slicing.
- I was there with her @ 5AM & stayed 'til they took her "downstairs"
- The Doc said she would not "come to" until about 7 or 8 PM
- The Doc also said she would not be able to communicate cause of the "Breathing Tube" (I just got chills typing that)
- Thank you all for your Concern & Prayers

What's that sparkle in your eye?
- While there she is trying to catch a fly, a large fly, buzzing her head. She asks the women she's with, "Did you see that giant fly?" A woman we didn't know, who we found out later was there only because she was traveling with one of our old friends who just stopped for a few minutes, said, "There is no fly. Do you see white lights?"
- Doctor says "Whoa there Nellie!" "You need an operation to re-attach your retina that was cut." They just happened to have a laser handy so they zapped her eye and fixed it. I hope they fixed it. Doctor said that without the surgery she MAY have had a detached retina which can be permanently blinding.
The Internet? Bah!

The Actor in the Family...
Peter McElhinney (second from left) in a scene with Martha Cavanaugh, Cathy Larson and Michael Dornisch from 'Pack of Lies.'
Sports on TV...

I know the Pea is involved with his political news so he is accounted for, but what do people watch if it’s not “Sports” related?
Just wondering…

How about if we have a major sporting event without Referees, Umpires, Judges or Stewards? I Love that a 65 to one shot did ...
