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,

I Wouldn't Have Imagined This If I Were A Betting Man

Posted 03-31-2019 at 07:33 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

In the game of baseball, you just never know what's going to happen. So, when I trudged on down to Austin to watch some more Texas Longhorn baseball (as my second trip down in two weeks), I'm not so sure if anyone would have ever expected today's outcome to end up like it did.

We'll come back to this in a minute. The Horns had the lead for most of the game and then had a dramatic comeback in the bottom of the ninth after losing the lead in the eighth. The two previous...

Jefferson: Intrigue In An East Texas Town

Posted 03-29-2019 at 08:21 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

This small town in the Ark-La-Tex region of East Texas got a visit from me very recently. It was my real first time to pay attention to such a quaint little burg.

Jefferson, Texas, is a quiet place if you want to do a day getaway. In my case, it was a brief getaway from.........well, Tyler. But I digress. What I really got from that historic community were two general stores, and I got to step into one of them for some Blue Bell cookies-n-cream ice cream....

Hollywood Blocking Common Sense From American Life

Posted 03-29-2019 at 06:07 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)
Updated 03-30-2019 at 03:35 AM by case44

I don't have to tell you that much of Hollywood today is in bed with the left in this country. You've known that for a long time. Some of you may have heard about a new movie that came out, and it's story regarding Planned Parenthood, and a woman's experiences with it.

Basically, it comes down to this: As the movie debuts across America this very day, the liberals and the Democrat Party don't want people to know about this movie or its content. That shouldn't surprise...

Baseball Time Again: 2019 MLB Predictions

Posted 03-26-2019 at 04:36 AM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

I know that everybody's getting geared up and ready to go with this year's Major League Baseball season. We've got to see our guys play the games to get to the big prize, the world championship.

In recent years, the Houston Astros, the New York Yankees, and the Boston Red Sox were baseball's three best teams, and it looks like that will be the case again. Here below are the predictions for the upcoming year.

Thank You, Dale Robertson, For The Great Memories

Posted 03-24-2019 at 12:18 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

I couldn't believe it when I read the headline in this special article taken from the Houston Chronicle. He's a writer that I wish I could have spent more time reading. I've read plenty, however, to let this gizzard influence some of my writing skills.

Dale Robertson, who is synonymous with Houston sportswriting, having written at the Chronicle and, before that, the now-defunct Houston Post, is retiring after 46 years of illustrious print. He's just an...
