Oddly, I've always been very calm and moderate in social situations - the typical diplomat and peacemaker. I promised myself that when I turned 60 (2 years ago) I would become an unapologetic, cranky old c@@@. It didn't happen. I've actually become a more fact-based critical thinker, even reading articles and lessons about logic and fallacies online. I really wanted to be a cranky old c*** because I'd seen so many others do it and get away with it for years. When I got there, I didn't want it.
