Welcome To Case's Column

Since this will be my first venture into the mysterious world of blogging, 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.

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, I'll set aside a place here 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.

Here you are. My very first blog page. Come on in and share in the experience. I'm interested in seeing where this is all going. And thanks in advance for dropping by!

Regards,

This And Gnat Revisited: At A Computer Screen Near Me

Posted 12-03-2012 at 08:10 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Gee, I really hope I didn't have to deal with this again, but such is the stuff of life. Mom, apple pie, the flag, Chevrolet, plus....warts, flat tires, misses that hit, and hits that missed. Yeah, that's life, but that isn't really what I wanted to title this latest scribble.

A few minutes before I started letting my fingers dance, something else was trying to "entertain" me in front of my face. Lo, and behold, a gnat was found circling...

Frisco, Texas Football Rising To The Occasion

Posted 12-01-2012 at 07:36 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Only twelve years ago, just 33,000 people lived in Frisco, Texas. It wasn't long before that when Frisco was an even smaller town for a big chunk of the 20th century. During that time, the town never won very much in high school football. From what I've read, the last time they had too much excitement was in 1973, when the Frisco High Raccoons clinched a berth in the Class A quarterfinals.

Losing reputation, right?

Not so fast, Lee Corso. ...

Did My Christmas Wish List Suddenly Get Longer?

Posted 11-28-2012 at 06:40 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Okay, that's just jumping to conclusions. The more important needs I have now, I'll get before Mr and Mrs Claus lift even a finger. All those things I'm asking for Christmas?? Well, we can worry about those later, as they'll eventually appear under the tree on time and on Christmas morning.

It's just that I'm getting more frustrated at the decreasing amount of time that a simple pair of pants can go without getting completely worn out. Notice I said decreasing....

Scattershooting Again / The Deal With Office Restroom Breaks

Posted 11-25-2012 at 04:51 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Time for some more scattershooting for the masses while we're all finishing what's left of all the Thanksgiving leftovers. Hope y'all out there have had the grandest of all holidays, even though the Big One is still coming up in a month. Got to get my Christmas list going with some goodies to write down. And if you don't like the holiday season, well, you just don't like mom's homemade apple pie.

The work environment, as it is, presents...

Happy Thanksgiving, Dear Readers, And All The Best!

Posted 11-22-2012 at 04:10 AM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

It's the third-most time of year we've waited for (behind the 4th of July and Christmas). I may be going to work, but many of you will be watching parades or old movies. Now, don't worry about me; after work, I'll be going over to my mother's place and there will be the big feast. ..... And some football games....

Take time out to be with your family today. It's worth it. Whatever you do and wherever you go today, enjoy that time together with someone...
