Interestingly, Tom, the word for wise in German is weise, while wisdom is Weisheit. What might be more apropos to you, though, is that the word Weiss (it actually has the little double "s" thing instead of two esses) means white. Well, since you are surnamed White, or Weiss, maybe you are getting a little more weise as the years go by.

As Frank Sinatra put it "And now I think of my life as vintage wine from fine old kegs, from the brim to the dregs it poured sweet and clear, it was a very good year." May 2025 bring you even more Weisheit!
