THE GG RETURNS YET AGAIN

The GG is back after what seemed like a long hiatus. I’d heard of writer’s block before but never expected mine to be near fatal. But the good news for you loyal readers is that I have overcome that dreaded disease and am now ready to resume my role as the blogosphere’s prime grouch. And it looks like there’s plenty of topics to grouch over -- in addition to the usual assortment of everyday irritants, we now have the Zimmerman case to talk about. Rest assured, I will not fail you there -- the GG certainly doesn’t want to be known as the only commentator in the universe who failed to offer up an opinion on that matter. I get grouchy just thinking about it. And our would-be servants in the nation’s capital are still with us providing enough fodder to fill up a universe of grouch blogs. Thinking about them makes me even grouchier. But the thing that makes me grouchiest of all is the current state of our once proud national pastime of major league baseball. Since that is foremost on my withering mind, my first comeback offering will be directed to that subject, and look out – it will be a fastball thrown high and inside! So set those frowns in place, charge up those grouch meters and keep reading. GG

Welcome, fellow grouches. Come in, put on a frown and make yourselves at home. According to my family and friends, I've been a grouch for quite some time. I turned 65 a couple of years ago so now not only am I a grouch but an official geezer to boot. A Grouchy Geezer! (But truth be known, I'm a grouch only on days ending in a "Y").

My purpose here is to share some of the things I've observed and experienced over the course of my life that have peeved, annoyed and irritated the crap out of me. Things that helped make me into The Grouchy Geezer. As fellow grouches, I feel sure you, too, have encountered similar things in your lives that have peeved, annoyed and irritated the crap out of you as well. If so, you'll have the chance to share them on this site.

The format is simple. From time to time I will post a pet peeve based on a particular life experience or observation or something currently in the news or in the culture that makes me grouchy.

This will be a free and open board and anyone is welcome to comment. You may comment on my peeve or relate one of your own. Any topic is fair game as long as it is something that makes you grouchy. The only requirement is that you use good taste and refrain from personal attacks. Use of profanity will make me even grouchier and bar you from further access to the site. That means you will have to grouch to your wife, not on here.

None of this is to say that uplifting banter is not encouraged. By all means, if you have something to say that is inspiring or that might force other readers to have to suppress a smile, let us hear it. But don't overdo it; after all, it's our grouchiness that defines and unites us and makes this blog possible.
