So, you found my page. How do you know if you are a Curmudgeon or not? Well, simply click on the word Curmudgeon and find out. If it is true you learn something every day, then this can be your "thing" for the day.

Curmudgeon's are generally good people (After all, I should know!). They have many aspects:

They have faith. In my case, this would be the Holy Orthodox Church.
They have jobs and careers, and even have resumes to see if they can better their lot in life, while providing valuable and scarce talent to society and society's organizations.
They have (occasionally) hobbies and other interests, like my favorite hobby, Amateur (or Ham) Radio, in particular, low-power (called QRP) morse code operations. (Please Note: This link will take you to another domain.)

In any event, curmudgeon or no, enjoy your visit. I hope you find some interesting and informative stuff here, and elsewhere on the net.

A defense of curmudgeons and generally irritable people -- called Point of View, an Apology for the Irritable.
