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....

I do not understand!

The average snowfall in Crested Butte, CO for January over the past 10 years is 37.7 inches. And our host for the Air B&B we're staying in left us NO snow shovel. Good thing it only snowed 2-3 inches last night. At least the powers that plow the driveways are on the ball.

And the forecast today is for sunny skies and no snow. Yesterday morning while Jeanette and I were in town taking in the sights, it snowed as we arrived, turned sunny as we walked from store to store, turned cloudy and snowed heavily while we ate lunch. I thought we were back in Missouri with the changes happening so often.

Then I found out the local brewery doesn't open until 3pm. Bummer. Rather than wait another three hours, we headed home to rest. It turns out the 8900 ft. elevation can really take the wind out of two old folks walking around town. We'll go back later this afternoon to check out the brewery.

For now, we'll enjoy the fabulous sights of the sun on the snow-covered mountains.
