Today a man I was talking with said that he thought that maybe some people might consider him to be a bit of a curmudgeon.
"Well, I suppose I am a curmudgeon", he said. "I was wild boy in my youth, a
real chancer. I played cards, I gambled, I pulled things over people. Now, I just want everyone to leave me alone".
Curmudgeon, chancer.
These are words you don't hear very often, and I love them.
