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,

Some Cool Tidbits From A Hot Astros Team

Posted 04-30-2018 at 10:54 AM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

They've got the third-best record in the American League and fourth-best in baseball. The Houston Astros are plugging away after a successful March-April combo. Great team with great happenings.

And more stories are being told through the team's play, one game after the other. Want one example? A hilarious play taking place during yesterday's game had catcher Brian McCann, certainly not the Astros' fastest runner, circling the bases on a Jake Marisnick double....

What A Mess On The West Coast: A Terrible Price For Liberalism

Say what you will about what either side thinks of immigration and how things are interpreted. If you are a common-sense thinker, then it's easier for you all to distinguish the right thing from the wrong thing.

I'm sure, by now, you've heard all the stories about the goings-on in San Francisco. One of America's most beautiful cities (and, sadly, also one of America's most wicked) has been tarnished in recent years. Did you know that that city has allowed people...

Always On Our Minds: Willie Turns 85

Posted 04-29-2018 at 07:35 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

The man from Abbott, Texas, is like the Energizer Bunny, as he keeps going and going. Would you believe that this fellow has a new album out.............at age 85?

Ladies and gentlemen, Willie Nelson is that fellow. And, yes, he turned 85 at the time of this writing.

No, the party's not over; it's just beginning. The people in Willie's adopted hometown of Austin simply call him "Willie". And so do I. He's still very active,...

Back From San Antonio, And A Great Time At Fiesta

Posted 04-29-2018 at 06:13 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)
Updated 04-30-2018 at 06:06 AM by case44

This road trip just completed had turned out to be a relatively short one, but it'll do me good for right now. Got to spend a little time in San Antonio and the Riverwalk on a crowded Friday night. For the past week and a half, the city has done this yearly ritual called Fiesta, in which many residents celebrate different cultures (with parades, usually) while commemorating heroes of the Alamo. My arrival there was Thursday, but your writer wishes that this excursion would last...

Just Smile, Okay? It's The Weekend

Posted 04-20-2018 at 08:46 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

You've had a tough week, haven't you? Maybe it's been good for others of you. Usually, with people, it's always one or the other. There can also be that teeter towards the middle, or average.

Well, Monday's long gone, and Friday is almost gone, as well, as of this writing. That could only mean one thing. It's the weekend. I finish one more work day and then I will delve into my real weekend plans. Chances are, for you, you are finished...
