Inaugural post

Welcome!

This is the first official post on the blog of the Crusty Curmudgeon.

The Crusty Curmudgeon is the dark side of Scott McClare, a normal person.

I owe the name to my friend Steve, who once noted how truly cynical I got at times. His word for this mindset was "crusty"; I added "curmudgeon." He and I both agree that I can take on a you-crazy-kids-get-off-my-lawn mindset when faced with the follies of the world.

This blog originally was going to be a convenient spot to review books and movies that I had read or seen recently, but now is more of a general-rambling kind of thing. Enjoy.
