Tuesday Morning
Where is the line between bitter and realistic? Last night I sat in a meeting and was told how important it was for everyone to work together to support the town & foster a sense of community. After ten plus years and multiple members of the town leadership body telling me I'm going to hell and people like me shouldn't exist, I find the amount of work I'm willing to do is...limited.
I heard myself saying something to that effect, and thought, Wow, crazy curmudgeon achievement unlocked. The moment you discover you're perfectly capable of sounding like Alan Moore is not necessarily a good one. But it is what it is; perhaps next I shall work on growing a magnificently shaggy beard and start training the chickadees to make themselves at home on my battered hat.
