Hey, I like that! I don't get many honors like that any more. I used to think of troublemaking as a science, but it's really an art. It takes years to aquire good troublemaking skills. Which brings up another point. I'm not a punk, I'm a codger. I rose above punkdom many years ago. That doesn't mean I wasn't good at it. I just outgrew it. Mama used to say, "Howard, it doesn't matter what you do as long as you're good at it."
Why do people always put the adjective "old" in front of codger? I think I might make trouble over that.
