Introduction I am studying to become a curmudgeon. So far it's coming along nicely. The current blockhead in the White House has done any number of things to sour my disposition, with little or no effort at all. It turns out the little Yalie (I use the epithet since I went to Princeton, back in another lifetime) is actually a cousin of mine many times removed, since our people first arrived in Plymouth Plantation in time to piss off Massasouet's people and involve ourselves in King Phillip's War (Metacomet to you, bunky)--but that's another story as they say. I am of a certain mature age, not having yet entered my 70's. I am married--have been for over 40 years--to S.W.M.B.O. (She Who Must Be Obeyed). We have two boys and a girl, who at this point one should more properly call two men and a woman. The oldest is married, lives in Texas, and along with his wife have spawned us twins--a boy and girl--who I've dubbed the little possums, or, more correctly, the little Texas tornadoes. They are age six. Well, that will give you enough to chew on for the time being. Boreegard.
