The Curmudgeon Report

The Curmudgeon Report

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
People ask how I came up with the name The Curmudgeon Report. Well, all the good ones were taken, and I had a deadline for starting a weekly column, which ran for five years in the Jacksonville Daily Progress-that's how. I almost changed the title after I read the dictionary definition of curmudgeon: a crusty, churlish, ill-tempered old man. I never display those qualities unless provoked-like when somebody disagrees with my opinion. Then, I heard the modern definition of curmudgeon: anyone hating hypocrisy and pretense, who can point out the unpleasant or ridiculous in a humorous manner. Now, that's more like it. I first became interested in writing in college and took inspiration from a teacher of creative writing, Dr. Ronald Evans. Dr. Evans gave me the best advice any aspiring writer could ever have: “Dare to dream,” he said, “be curious, and marry rich.”
