It's not a binary thing. While nearly everyone identifies one side as
dominant, and that's usually the right side, it's more like a
continuum. When our kids were in Little League [and Dad got roped into
coaching], it was fairly common for a right-handed kid to be unable to
hit the ball. Getting him to bat left often resulted in a lot of foul
balls and an increasing number of hits.
I think you'll find it goes well with some practice. Not long ago,
Andrea saw something on TV about why shoe laces come untied ... most
people [who would mostly be right-handers] tie them in "granny" knots
which any Boy Scout knows don't hold well. Mine are in square knots and
she wondered if it was because I'm left-handed. Could be. It could
also be because that's the way my Grandma taught me to tie my shoes a
lifetime ago. [:-)
I use a Winkey3USB to key my K3, paddle on right. Second paddle on left
goes into the K3 paddle jack. If you did something like that, you could
always revert to right-handed paddling if you got confused on the left
during ECN.

Hey Fred,
I know of one guitarist who was pretty good playing backward
guitar. He was from Seattle and known as Jimi. Regular guitar tuning
but backward because of the the northpaw conspiracy. While I could
just barely throw a 90 mph fast ball (four seamer) right handed I
could never have thrown one left-handed. However, it has been
mentioned I may be able to throw 20 wpm CW backwards. Hopefully I'll
learn your ambidextrous ways and keep ECN going for a few more years.
Yes, baseball was my downfall. Catching and pitching both took their
toll; but I had mountains of fun breaking those bones :) And I NEVER
had a passed ball in my career.
Thanks & 73,
Kevin.
