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....

Finally, a break in the heat! The temperature for this morning's walk was 66 degrees. That's a far cry from the low to mid-80's over the past three weeks. I decided to celebrate by adding another half mile to my walk.

My doctor told me walking is the best exercise for post-surgery activity. Today's walk was my 109th consecutive day. My initial walk was four days after surgery around my yard going about .18 mile. By the end of April, I was up to a half mile.

May's average was a mile a day; June was a mile and a half; and July's average was just over two miles daily. My biggest problem with walks is ... they take too long. My two and a half mile walk today took almost 44 minutes. During my running days that distance was easily under 20 minutes. Yeah, I got other things to do.

Speaking of that, I have to finish my daily writing tasks.
