Today Is National Left Handers Day And National Filet Mignon Day

Are you left handed? Do you find it difficult to live as a left hander? There are left handed products like scissors and well, that's all I can think of. Maybe a can opener, baseball glove and golf clubs. There are many online sites for left-handed people, too.
It's a good thing that steak knives are 'uni-handed', so you can cut up a tasty filet mignon today. Celebrate accordingly.- Alan
