The Quark In The Road
Thoughts on Left-handedness
“Sinister” and “gauche” in the past one was branded
Merely because of being left-handed.
Ignorance was the source
Of this nonsense, of course.
And still rears its ugly head, to be candid.

I’m Jerry Partacz, happily married to my wife Julie for over 40 years. I have four children and eleven grandchildren. I’m enjoying retirement after 38 years of teaching. I now have an opportunity to share my thoughts on many things. I’m an incurable optimist. I also love to solve crossword puzzles and to write light verse. I love to read, to garden, to play the piano, to collect stamps and coins, and to watch “Curb Your Enthusiasm”.
