I agree on both counts, Fred. From my experience, it seems that one can be an "angry young man" up until about 30. Then, if you persist, you're just an a-hole for the next 30 years. At 60, you've earned the right to become what everyone already expected---a curmudgeon.

If my memory is correct, you have one more year as an a-hole, then you're home free. Did I mention crotchety?


Always call the place you live a house. When you're old, everyone else will call it a home.
