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....

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....

My youngest daughter told me she's playing something she calls Amazon Roulette.

In fairness, I can't say that this game is her invention. She DOES spend a lot of time on Facebook, and may have come across this activity while spending one or more of her waking hours on that platform. But she certainly has adopted the game wholeheartedly.

To play, she creates a wish list of items she would like from Amazon. Most of the items don't cost a lot; some are household items she needs, while others are just what tickles her fancy. Her husband checks the list frequently and when he feels the budget will allow, he purchases one or more items off the list without telling her.

Not until something is delivered does she know that an item on her wish list has been crossed off. And until she opens said delivery, she doesn't know what item it is. She just knows that Justin was thinking of her.

I could never play this game with my wife. I couldn't keep up with her shopping habits. And quite honestly, she would never wait for me to check the list. This is a girl who never lets any dust fall under her fingertips when ordering from Amazon. *Shock2*
