WISDOM

 I learned a new word last week:  sciolism.  M-W defines it as "a superficial show of learning".  It brought me to some self-examination.  Is that what I do?  Is that who I am?  Is this what a teacher meant when he warned me I was becoming a jack-of-all-trades but master of none?   A person able to talk about almost any subject but with no real depth on anything?   I hope this is not the case.  For most of my adult life I have felt a need to learn.  I've felt a need to know something about everything.  I guess I am a sciolist.  I can't think of any subject that I'm really, deeply knowledgable about.  So much for wisdom in old age.

Wisdom from a friend at a ROMEO breakfast:  "The days go by very slowly but the weeks and months fly by so quickly."  Another plague of old age -boredom.
