The NYT reports some lame group (my description - not theirs) named Smile Mania is having an event calling the Great American Grump Out. Bite Me !!!! 'Negativity makes us sick and keeps us sick', says some member, possibly the founder. Fran Lebowitz says she prefers the term 'realist' - which made me laugh b/c that's the term I've been using for myself for years. Ask anyone who's interviewed me (and there have been plenty of those). It's not denial - it's the truth. The only thing I don't like about the idea of being a Grump is being lumped in with the likes of Andy Rooney, Dennis Miller and Gore Vidal (as Lisa Simpson says - he's already kissed more boys than I ever have). Surely there's better company than that. ...or maybe I'm just being grumpy.
