To me, being irritable means reacting to what others say or do that truly has a mean spirit somewhere about it...cranky...well that is when we are not emotionally rested and approacing life from a good place....

_Grumpy.._ well that is the human condition...

We are all Grumpy Old Men, each in our ways and our own time....that includes the sweetest part of being a grumpy old man......just being a man or wo-man or human being....
