I was recently out with some old friends, and we got to chatting about my blog here. Full of writer's pride, I was very interested in their thoughts. (By the way, lest you think less of me, I always test people by mentioning a topic I've already covered to make sure they read it - pride has its limits).
What I WASN'T expecting was the observation: "you're not very curmudgeony for a curmudgeon." WHAT!?!! THAT certainly bowled me over. I couldn't very well share that observation back with the Societé - they would think I don't represent them well in my writings. I mean, I replaced a guy (well-respected for his curmudgeonly views within the Societé) because it was felt he was TOO crusty.
Well, a gauntlet has been thrown, by gum. No more Mr. Nice Guy, Mr. Understanding. The kid gloves come off. All I can say is beware. I have no clue where I will take this, but we're on, bitch.
