before coffee

.
If, as a small conjecture, wisdom is little more than a much-embroidered form of self-congratulation, that still leaves open the question of who is doing the congratulating.

And, peripherally, I also wonder ... if there is such a thing as "wisdom," what is it that could possibly be called "unwise?"

All of this hinges, I imagine, on the fact that I have not yet had enough morning coffee.
