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,

Real-Life Flip Or Flop? This Time, It Doesn't Involve Houses

Posted 12-19-2016 at 09:24 AM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

What's this? I was going to pronounce them as my favorite TV couple, as their HGTV series "Flip Or Flop" has become a favorite show of mine on that great channel. But would anyone have imagined some real-life drama going on between the two stars of that show?

Mind you, they're not actors, but real estate agents who have taken up house-flipping. Tarek and Christina El Moussa, the couple you see on that wonderful program flipping one house after another and...

Perhaps We Can Open Up The Answering Machines

Could it be that some radio deejays are simply getting tired of talking to listeners? I know that sounds weird, but you'd be amazed that it's actually happening, at least on the surface. On one program, unless this writer's overreacting, it could just be that a radio jock can be innovative enough to balance out the chatter and use different ideas to draw listeners to a program.

Whatever the reason, you can see that radio shows like the one that radio legend Cousin...

Scattershooting / The Tale Of The Shirt Tail

Twas the twelve days before Christmas,
and all through the site,
Case begins more Scattershooting,

********

Sometimes, I wonder about the makers of shirts. You get a casual or dress-up shirt and, once it's tried on, it has to fit. As a big guy, I have to have a Double XL shirt if I'm going to get around in it. The thing is, different brands have different makers, and they tend to do different things....

Oh, What A Relief It Is If You're An American

Posted 12-12-2016 at 10:40 AM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

I feel relieved. I feel as if a weight has been taken off of our nation after eight nightmarish years of whatever that was that was un-American which infiltrated and infected our society. People all over the U.S. were saying that they don't recognize this country anymore.

Nonetheless, relief is coming. We have a new president, and he's going to be different from any politician we've had through the years. Christmas for many Americans will be better than in past years,...

Astros' Additions Can Only Help For '17

Posted 12-11-2016 at 07:30 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Missing the playoffs is never a satisfying result for any baseball team. The Houston Astros are supposed to win and are supposed to be on the upward swing. If Major League Baseball's annual Winter Meetings are any indication, it would appear that Houston has come away with vast improvements.

You can expect the 2017 batting order to have better batting averages than the one Houston had the year before. The Astros have upgraded. They now have Brian McCann as their...
