Jon, now you can balance having that stronger right hand. 
Sometimes I worry my left leg will get bigger and stronger than my right one!

Meant to tell you this before. Sunderland is a seaside town and we have a Boxing Day tradition of swimming in the NORTH SEA. This year, there were 400 nutters who did it. It was in the local paper that the sea was "quite warm" - right, the air temperature was 3c at the time.

yup and they still do. This last year they had a problem with ice on the lake, it was so cold that the lake was freezing over in the bays. Can't recall what they did about that though.
Ive gone for a polar bear swim before, and to tell you the truth its not that bad once you get used to the water. this is because the water is actually warmer than the air, because the ground heats it, so after a few minutes once your body gets used to the now-faster-dropping body temperature you get all warmed up and cant get OUT of the water! because the air feels waaaay colder than the water. and I mean WAY colder than the water. Like a swimming pool times 10.
Not to say it was warm, as altogether it was a very cold experience, but a unique one nonetheless. Bear in mind I didnt do it with the polar bears, doing it during the winter is nuts! i did it in the very early morning in the fall.
