Let me introduce myself. I’m Cait, and I am, in fact, a crusty old man.
The name “Cantankerous Cait” comes from the small yet crucial role I played as a bleach blond, cross-armed, thirteen year old middle aged woman on a set of playing cards my aunt made several years ago. See the background image for proof, the wrinkles do not lie. Been crusty for a while now, but it’s who I am and I’ve come to embrace it. If you’re not cranky with the world, what are you?
I currently live in Nashville, Tennessee. I love writing. This site began as a pandemic passion project and has continued to be a space for me to talk about the experiences I’ve had and the things that inspire me. I might expose myself as a freak as time goes on, but I promise I’ll grow on you.
