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,

Memory Lane: The Art Of Misheard Song Lyrics

You may still, at some point, hear Louis Armstrong sing a great ballad on an oldies station. He gets to the verse that sez the following words:

The bright, blessed days...
The dogs say 'Good night'
And I think to myself....

Wait a second. Dogs say 'Good night'???

You've been down this road a time or three, haven't you?

Satchmo actually sang, "The dark, sacred night...."

Great...

Baseball: Which Players Will Be Where In '25? Altuve And A Possible Surprise

Posted 08-06-2018 at 07:10 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

There was an interesting article in MLB.com today, and it has fans pondering what players in the year 2025 would most likely still be with the team they're on currently. I'll just let you read the article for yourself, because there's a lot to think about regarding some of the game's best players.

I will tell you what they filled in for Houston's Astros, and it makes perfect sense. Come 2025, there is one player (although there could be two or three others) that certainly...

I-69 Update: The Sleepy Website Has Finally Awakened

Posted 08-02-2018 at 07:46 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)
Updated 08-03-2018 at 02:56 AM by case44

It only took an e-mail or two from this writer to go right to the source and wake up a sleepy website that has no business being sleepy. That was the Interstate 69, Texas Alliance website, no less.

Oh, that site is still one of my favorites, especially since it contained all kinds of news about Texas construction of the transcontinental (as proposed) interstate. Problem was, for the past two years, it had gone dormant. Why? We've got layers being poured and...

Congrats, Rush, On Thirty Great Years Of Excellence

Posted 08-02-2018 at 07:04 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

A radio giant just hit an important milestone this week. Rush Limbaugh, say it ain't so. He's gotten up to thirty years on the airwaves, and he's not about to stop now.

Rush, a hearty congrats to you for all the great things you've brought to us through that EIB microphone. You've been a guiding light for many folks, including this humble writer. When things in America would get dark (and there was a lot of it during that thirty-year run), you have brought a...

Scattershooting Once More / Losing Altuve A First For The Astros

Posted 07-30-2018 at 12:20 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)
Updated 07-31-2018 at 07:53 PM by case44

It's that time again, isn't it? Yes, and there's no choice. Time for Scattershooting here on City-Data, where it's great to be alive. My pantry is fresh out of marshmallows for the computer campfire, so you'll just have to go to the store and get me some more.

When you have time, of course....

********

The Houston Astros' Jose Altuve is on the disabled list. That's right, just let that sink in for a little bit. It's only...
