You’re most welcome. Ultimately, the choice is up to you. Go down to your local guitar store and play around with both right- and left-handed beasties. One of them should speak to you!

It’s really (as I understand it) a matter of taste. There are several approaches, because the selection of instruments is much narrower if you want to play a left-handed instrument. Virtually all makes provide some left-handed guitars, but there’s a lot less variety. If you can afford custom, that’s another matter,…

This is a nice guitar, and it’s very good for some things. I’ve owned one, and here are my thoughts, for what they’re worth.

When things got bad in March, I camped out at home I don’t think I drove my car for something over a month. Some time in May, I went to get take-out, and inadvertently left my lights on for a few minutes before remembering to turn them off while I waited with the engine off. Went to start the engine and—dead. There…
Buy a Lenovo Thinkpad. Mine (an X240) has VGA, 2xUSB3, mini displayport, audio (1/8" or 3.5mm, as you prefer) i/o, SD Card, and Ethernet ports. Oh, and of course Lenovo’s proprietary power jack.
Diabetic here. Diagnosed at age 13 in 1971, so you can imagine that I drank a lot of diet soda. Tab stands out in my memory though. It had the aftertaste of soap. Furniture polish? Maybe, but I’ve never tasted that. Soap, though...
Yes. This is “more.” It’s not better.
All nonstick cookware is temporary—and the more you cook, the more temporary it is.

The university where I teach is using Teams at the moment, and so is the court system where I practice. It’s not a bad system, but it feels a little heavy on the CPU compared to some other things. I do expect it’s more secure than Zoom. My main complaint is that it doesn’t seem to like the system defaults for…
Oh, and “mind sticker?”
I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in 1971, when I was 13 years old.
I saw the live performance the week of recording--it was fantastic. This is one of the best shows I’ve ever seen.
I tried one episode.
I knew what “fag” and “faggot” meant when I was in high school in the ‘70s. The particular social group I was part of didn’t use the word, but we all knew what it meant.
There are some things that (most) everyone does well, and there are some things for which that’s not the case—but there is a far greater number of things that some people like, and some people don’t (not to mention that some people like some of the time, and not all of the time).
Nah, this has been over the course of decades, and I have a policy against keeping pens of any sort that don’t work. I likely binned them within days from frustration. But the next time I want to get an XF Lamy, I will buy it and test it in person.

Oh, I have been using fountain pens since Sheaffer school pens in the mid-’60s. I have owned dozens. But in 1986, my now-spouse gave me a Mont Blanc 144 as an engagement gift. I’ve used it in graduate school, in my software career, as a law student and now as a lawyer. I’m fascinated by other pens as well (hence my…

Not the worst thing in the world, but.
Interesting. I have used XF nibs for decades on Sheaffer and Mont Blanc pens with various inks and had no trouble at all... I have a Pilot Metropolitan that I use a bit less (because it’s comparatively heavy, like some old Sheaffer Targas) and it writes such a very narrow line that I’ve been tempted to see what…

I may do, once it’s safe again (pandemic ends or I’m vaccinated) since I (used to) visit NYC every few months.
