Don't miss it.

There’s something that’s caught my attention.

As it does every year. It’s the TOUR DE FRANCE.

I tell myself, to watch it for two minutes or so

before getting my butt back to work.

What happens? I sit with my eyes glued

to the television. That and EUFA. Watching soccer from Europe.  

I’ve never played much soccer other than

at school in Oakville, Ontario when I was

booted off the team.

Maybe it’s because I’m left – handed and kicked

the ball with my left foot , sending it in the wrong direction.

I’m still left-handed and for some time wrote upside

down .   That’s when I  switched  to my right hand. It took a while.

I write with both and it still looks  messy. 

Writer’s comment: What changed ? When I changed to a typewriter,

though I’ve never gone beyond two fingers. It takes patience.

The one thing I’m good at.
