 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.... |
| Today's the day--arbitrarily chosen by my wife, I think--to decorate the house for the Christmas holidays. We don't go overboard any longer. I think she doesn't want me up on a ladder putting lights on the house. I'm certainly still capable of doing that, but I'm not telling her that. I'm perfectly willing to remain on the ground. Besides, it's 30 degrees outside. We have a brick fireplace with a gas fireplace insert in our family room that bears the bulk of our inside decorations. We used to get a real tree every year for the front room until our current cat came along. It amazes me how quickly a cat can shred a tree. Since we spend most of our time in the family room, we can watch for the cat stalking the decorations on the mantle. I have a loaded Nerf gun at my beck and call, and I know how to use it. Christmas gifts in my wife's family is limited to what can be placed in a stocking on the fireplace. They are a mite over-sized in my opinion, and that opens the field for imaginative gifts. There IS a lot of room above the insert to the mantle allowing for the super-sized stockings. I better get the boxes down for the decorating to begin. I just hope I'll get to watch a couple football games today. |
