Recently I was going down a one-way street in the wrong direction and a passing driver called me out for it. Without thinking I heard myself say “but I’m left-handed“ and the driver laughed.  

As you know I am left-handed and think on the right side of my brain. Whether or not being  left handed is the reason for it, as you may know, I do not stifle my unconventional impulses. Thus, my catchphrase “Up is down and down is up“.

I say it often and somebody is listening, because sometimes when I make an off-the-wall observational comment Gotham webmaster Mitch Tobol responds “up is down and down is up” to my secret satisfaction.

My thought of the day is to encourage everyone to think out-of-the-box, be creative and not be weighed down by convention as “Up is down and down is up”!

My artist wife Joanne put a bow on it by adding “Upside down, inside out”.
