I make a joke that I'm the Internet curmudgeon, but 'wary' is a good way to put it.
I've always been interested in people, but I've never liked them.
In a way my reputation has become that of the curmudgeon.
Comfort, or revelation: God owes us one of these, but surely not both.
I'm an old curmudgeon and I know it.
I love playing a curmudgeon. I just love playing a sour guy.
