 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  . 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.  Perhaps 2025, having embraced my retirement, will see more participation in my journaling efforts. Well, one can hope.... |
| While I was on my walk this morning, the thought of what I accomplished yesterday came to mind. I reached for the small tablet and pen I always carry, only to find I don't always carry them. As I know that I will soon forget those things I remembered I did yesterday (because my mind moves ever forward; because I've convinced myself something doesn't happen unless I write it down; and because I'm old), I started reciting the points I could remember along to the classical music I listen to as I walk. I must say, not all classical music is conducive for such recitations. At any rate, I was successful enough that I was able to jot down the following things upon my return.  Kept my exercise streak alive with a 31-minute brisk walk first thing. Kept my WDC daily Achievement streak going into day 52. Ordered a true Prime Rib roast for my oldest daughter's pending two-week family visit here this coming weekend. Her husband is able to come for the first week but would have to leave for business early. Husband will prepare the Prime Rib (WILLINGLY, I might add) which is better than ANY Prime Rib I've ever had in a restaurant. Yes, I shamelessly asked J. if he would cook for us, and he agreed. This wasn't easy; we had to call four places to find a Prime Rib. Mailed our registration and deposit check for a trip to Ireland in May 2026. Helped my wife tie up here tomato plants, which is a huge concession as I dislike gardening intensely.  Scheduled a consultation appointment before the end of June for possible clinical trials at the University of Kansas Health System Cancer Center.Indeed, they seem smallish in nature. But I'm retired, so anything I accomplish is a good thing. |
