grumpy graciousness

there really is no such thing.  you can only be one of these at a time, not both together.  it is scientific fact that grump negates grace.  that a "sure" followed by a grimace & a grumble (however disguised or delayed) does not graciousness make.  grump!grump!grump!  satisfying only in the short-term.  somewhat like eating the entire bag of sour gummy worms, which just ends up causing inflamed taste buds.  not that i would know.

so, i will try graciousness....and restraint.
(and, eventually, a post that does not rely on alliteration.)
