"Curmudgeon"

The word "curmudgeon" is normally attached to a "bad-tempered or surly person." I am not either - at least I don't see myself that way at all. I decided on the word as I thought about Andy Rooney, who was indeed a curmudgeon. I loved to watch Rooney when he closed "60 Minutes" with his commentary. As crabby as he could be, he was also amusing.

For this blog, I hope most readers will take the word "curmudgeon" in a lighthearted way, as I did Rooney. I know I'm attempting to attach a new meaning to the word. Forgive me. My next post on Tridentine Latin Mass will fit my idea of a curmudgeonly discussion. Pretty tame, I think.
