First curmudgeon lesson: hedge when you can. I executed a classic save by
appending to the title "A sincere apology" the suffix "sort of."
It's up to the reader to decide if I really mean it. :-)
And, yeah, you're way too young to be a curmudgeon, even an apprentice. At 28,
I had many aspirations, but becoming a curmudgeon wasn't one of them. It just
happened. Let life flow over you, pay attention as it does, and you too may
become one.
