Forgive me but this road sign is in Err.

The road to wisdom? -

Well, it's plain and simple to express:

Err

and err

and err again

but less

and less

and less.

The question is whether this is a proper blog for the day before Thanksgiving? Years ago the day was full of Football and TV. Good food and good company make the day better. Wisdom is thought to be something that can be developed by experience rather than being taught. The biggest problem that I see with this is that experience is full of mistakes and err. Patience is the companion of wisdom according to St. Augustine. I will have to admit that as time passes patience has been easier. Patience is the ability to endure waiting, delay, or provocation without becoming annoyed or upset, or to persevere calmly when faced with difficulties. So it seems to me that being able to forgive others and and especially ones self is useful in gaining wisdom.

After all is one is going to err and err again

even if it is less and less

then it is probably wise to forgive ones self

PS: The 416 mile trip looks like it might take 8 hours 13 minutes and perhaps 20 seconds or so, unless of course one was to err by speeding or taking out a lot of time for lunch.
