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,

And I'm Kicking Myself Now Because....

....I did not write several congressmen in Central and Southeast Texas early enough to initiate a plan for an interstate corridor through East and North Austin. My original idea was for Interstate 14 to go from Lubbock to Abilene to Austin to Houston. Such an undertaking would have easily given Austin a legit east-to-west interstate to move goods from the Gulf Coast to the Permian Basin and the Texas Panhandle.

Well, that hasn't happened, but I-14 will come about after all............about...

Scattershooting / Texans Must Draft Offense This Offseason

Posted 01-09-2016 at 08:00 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

All you gentle readers --- and all you rough ones, too --- gather around the computer campfire for my first Scattershooting in 2016. There are plenty of cans to kick around these parts, so let's commence to doing that.

********

Well, sports fans were treated today to Houston versus Kansas City. Except that this is the Texans and Chiefs and not the Astros and Royals. It was painful to watch, even if I only watched the fourth quarter. I just...

A New Saturday Night Church Offering That I Might Try

Posted 01-09-2016 at 01:30 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)
Updated 01-10-2016 at 07:05 PM by case44

This really doesn't get talked about much in this space, but I do make an effort to go to church. That's been part of my life for a big chunk of it. Since my work schedule includes Sunday mornings (and has in recent years), I am limited to attending churches that hold services on Saturday. Nothing wrong with that, and I'm cool with that. I've been a member of a number of churches here in the Dallas-Fort Worth area for years at a time, some large, some smaller.

Seven Hundred Entries, And More On The Way

Posted 01-09-2016 at 10:35 AM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

My lands, are we already there? No, I'm not talking about the New Year anymore. This time, it's about another milestone, albeit kind of a minor one. If it ends with 00, then it is something.

I just looked at the number of my blog postings, and this one will mark 700. Been at this thing for almost eight years, and here it is at 700 blog posts for Case's Column. Just fifty away from 750, and that will be three-quarters of the way to one thousand. At this...

Lazy Co-Workers: You Just Can't Live With Them

Posted 01-09-2016 at 10:20 AM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)
Updated 01-09-2016 at 12:09 PM by case44

Face it, sports fans: Your workplace should always have things going as smooth as possible. When you have one co-worker that's out of sync from everybody else, it can make things very frustrating.

No workplace will ever be perfect; I'll give you that. But in my sphere of comfort's sacrifice, there has to be everyone giving some kind of effort, making workable and positive and constructive progress toward achieving office goals. I have one co-worker that has...
