Welcome To Case's Column

Let me say a big welcome to all of you for joining me here. I'm going to call these blog meetings Case's Column. I wanted to use "Corner", but that was already taken. Since 2008, it's been a real privilege to come on here and share some of my life with you, and it's a big world where we live.

In these blogs, I'll just speak whatever is on my mind, but we will be playing within the rules here. I may pick a particular topic, point out an event, or shoot the breeze. I'm a little bit of an essayist at times, so I'll just speak what's on my mind, and I might tell a story or two. Or, I might spew out an opinion or three. There will be some serious moments, some tender, some poignant, but there will also be those moments that you'll just bust out laughing. But, hopefully, everything will be in good fun here. And, of course, there's a place below for your comments and thoughts as we go along here. So feel free to join me for the ride -- I sure as heck hope I'm doing this right and not making any mistakes.

Thanks for taking your time in reading Case's Column. Hopefully, you'll enjoy being entertained by it as much as I've enjoyed putting these writings together. And thanks for the time you spend in City-Data.com, where it's great to be alive!

Regards,

And It Was Just A Piece Of Pie....

Posted 10-27-2014 at 08:56 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Oh, the potential. First, I baked an apple crumb pie which I could not wait to tear into once it got done. The fruit and outer crust got baked first, followed by my sprinkling of the crumbs and all that go with that on top, and then, back into the oven.

It looked good. It would eventually taste good. Problems? Oh, you bet. This poster cut into the finished product. Well, this was not a sturdy pie crust. My piece of pie just became a train wreck. ...

Daylight Time / Standard Time: Why Can't We Get It Down?

As if the dumbing down of America really weren't enough, I just have to look far and wide and run into things that make me scratch my head. Tragically, with this society, it doesn't take too long. Since I'll focus on only one issue here, how come we can't get that America ....................is on Daylight Time right now?

I am amazed how many folks don't realize it. We haven't fallen back yet, and people like to think we're always on Standard Time. Yes, except...

The Astros Could Learn Something From The Royals' Success

Posted 10-08-2014 at 03:07 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Before any more excitement reaches Houston, Texas, we have some intense excitement already going on in Kansas City, Missouri, today. Postseason excitement, in this case. Baseball fever is finally back in the Fountain City. The Royals are enjoying the fruits of a rebuilt franchise, and the fans' patience has certainly been rewarded.

Remember the Tampa Bay Rays when they went from last to first in 2008 and began a great run of playoff contention and playoff participation...

Case's Sunday Funny: Accentuating The Accent

Posted 10-05-2014 at 02:47 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Every now and then, I do a thing on these blog pages called the Sunday Funny. That is, if I try to do it on Sunday....

This time around, I've got some great stuff for your edification and perusal. I just love Sofia Vergara. She is the star of the ABC-TV comedy series, "Modern Family", and is one of the world's most beautiful women. She's also very funny, too, as it is the use of her heavy Colombian accent that has made her act work. Besides, I...

Lend Me Your Ears -- I Just Love Good Corn On The Cob

Posted 10-04-2014 at 07:17 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

I don't eat it this often enough, but I've got to get some next chance I get. Now, my groceries for the next two weeks have been bought, so this writer will need to wait a little longer. But I admit, I just don't eat the following food item often enough, no matter what my main course is. I'm talking about fresh, hot corn on the cob. It's messy once it's prepared the way I'm going to describe it, but it's very delicious.

Take two ears of corn and put them...
