A blog of no uncertain musings. What goes on in my mind is often a source of wonder to me.

My mind and my life are wonderous things ... as are yours, I'm sure. I have more slips of paper and pages of notebooks with musings and thoughts than I really know what to do with. Someone, actually several someones, have suggested I start a blog ... or a journal as a means of focusing some of this mental energy.

To be honest, I don't even know what the difference between a 'journal' and 'blog' is--or if there even is a difference. Read on, my friends, and you can judge for yourself whether it even matters.

And so....

Mee at my daughter's wedding.


I'm JACE. Yep ... that's me! And somewhere in all my writings my last name may be posted. But I'll just leave it at Jace for right now. I'm 70 years old and heading full tilt to 71. It's strange that while I'm going through some rather serious medical issues, I still consider myself to be in the prime of my life--pretty good shape physically AND mentally, though I don't run for competition anymore *Smile*. I love to ... dang, if I put this stuff here, I won't have anything for my blog.

Guess you just have to be patient until such stuff leaks out. *Smirk* Perhaps 2025, having embraced my retirement, will see more participation in my journaling efforts.

Well, one can hope....

We arrived at our vacation destination yesterday afternoon--Crested Butte, CO. Both travel days were sunny and in the 60's for most of the trip. As we started gaining altitude, the temp started dropping. This morning, we awoke to 26 degrees and a light dusting of snow.

The ski slopes rise up to 12,000 ft. The youngsters will be hitting the slopes shortly. I, on the other hand, will be searching the town for a brewery and some find local brews, and a good coffee shop, not necessarily in that order. I did find that the 8900 ft elevation for Crested Butte made a difference for my breathing. Yep, the more sedate life is for me the rest of the week here.

What a difference a day makes in the mountains.
