Today, January 29th, is a day made for yours truly and all my other ill-tempered friends; it’s Curmudgeons Day!
You can read all about how the history of the day at this link.
Several years ago, when I was deployed to New Jersey for disaster response to Superstorm Sandy, one of my staff members awarded me (as a joke, of course) an official certificate declaring that I was a member in good standing of the International Society of Curmudgeons.

I have cherished it ever since.
