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,

When The Remote Becomes Very Remote: The Mystery Of Hotel Television Sets

Updated 11-06-2009 at 08:15 AM by case44
As I take time to unveil some of the mysteries of life, and there are many, I have a burning question that I can't figure out. And I would venture to say that many of you are probably thinking the same thing. Every now and then, I take vacations or overnight road trips and stay at a reasonably nice hotel. It didn't matter which hotel, but every now and then, I'd always find the perfect situation. When it isn't perfect, it usually boils down to this: the hotel TV set...

More Scattershooting / That Holiday Spirit Is Back

Posted 11-03-2009 at 03:33 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)
Here we go with more scattershooting for the masses and with the masses. I hope you've got a little time to "spin the bottle" with the Casester, so let's gather around that cozy computer campfire and we'll get this little hoedown going. Be sure to bring some extra logs.

It's almost here. Thanksgiving. Turkey at the table with all the trimmings. Families gathering together. The Macy's annual parade. The Cowboys (Okay,...

Case's Food Reviews: Installment One

Posted 10-26-2009 at 10:48 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)
My last excursion onto Texas great roadways included some stops along the way at some of the places Texans love to stop have a bite. I've got three Houston places that I'd like to let you know about. Oh, there are much more, but for the sake of space and time, I'll do just three for now.

I'm going to take a moment to tell you folks about said restaurants and what I'll watch out for next time. For each place that I have visited, I've also got a grading system much...

On Vacation Again: My Latest Road Trip Update

Posted 10-20-2009 at 08:21 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)
Updated 10-21-2009 at 08:23 PM by case44
Well, gang, here I am in beautiful Houston, Texas, and in the middle of yet another road trip. This time, it's a road trip with vacation written all over it. I'm doing a Texas triangle of sorts, case44-style. Right now, I am staying three nights here in H-town after spending Monday night in Austin.

Earlier today (Tuesday, October 20), I took some time to stop in Brenham, Texas, at the Blue Bell Creamery. I had the opportunity to take a guided...

Don't Book 'em, Danno: No More Oldie Remakes

Posted 10-13-2009 at 02:32 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)
As if the major broadcast TV networks didn't already have enough negative baggage to deal with (dwindling audiences, bad writers, poor acting, what have you), we get the following news from CBS: They're doing a remake of the old "Hawaii Five-O" series. What the...? Another remake of yet another old show?? More grumblings from those still thirsting for new ideas from an industry practically fresh out of them.

That's just it, folks. Need any more...
