I certainly agree that I am very old! (grin) I'm not so sure about the "wise" part. Many years ago, my good friend Rubin Carter told me that wise people learn from others' mistakes; most of us have to learn from our own mistakes; and fools .... they never learn. I'd say that in all of the years and decades that I've been on this living Earth, I've made a very large number of mistakes ..... and in my old age, I try to review them objectively, so that I don't repeat them over and over. I think that, with any luck, I could end up with my Ph.D in error review!
