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,

When We Fall Back --- The Feel-Good Time Of The Year

Posted 11-02-2018 at 10:06 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Let's face it: If I don't take advantage, then it is I who misses out. And who'd really want to miss out on an extra hour of sleep?

Get ready to change your clocks, watches, and timepieces back one hour as we prepare to leave daylight time riding into the sunset. Father Time will now leave us less daylight. And it will show real hard come Sunday evening, where if you see it getting dark way earlier, then you know that Thanksgiving is right around the corner....

A Box Of Raisins And You, The Reader

Posted 10-30-2018 at 07:57 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Who would have thought that eating raisins would inspire me to write a blog post about, well, raisins? Truth is, I just love them. And because of this, that's just reason enough.

I had some little boxes and opened up four of them to enjoy the great taste of something that's so good for you. Sometimes, all it takes is a pinch between your cheek and gum, and you'll experience all the flavor. Sure, it's better than chewin' tobaccer, and they...

Oh, What The Heck? Let Buc-ee's Denton Open Up

Posted 10-29-2018 at 09:44 AM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)
Updated 10-29-2018 at 11:07 AM by case44

Well, perhaps this should be the October surprise, right?

No, this isn't going to be about politics (and there's more than enough of that), but it's about our friend, the Buc-ee's Beaver. Yes, indeedy, Buc-ee's has agreed to open their new Denton store many months before it was actually expected to, despite its access with Interstate 35E still under construction. After all, the building is very much complete. Okay, just for right now, I'd have...

A Few More Austin Postcards, Including A Baker's Couple

Posted 10-21-2018 at 11:50 AM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

You avid readers may want to watch out for something. Your favorite blogger may yet be adding another invention to your lexicon. I may be adventing a new phrase. More on that in due course.

Anyhow, I've gotten back from Austin two days before this writing, but it was certainly an adventure. During my time in ATX, there was not one ray of sunshine. As I previously mentioned, a storm system from the Pacific spewed its remnants over sections of Central...

Astros Will Be Playing Golf During The World Series

Posted 10-21-2018 at 11:20 AM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Perhaps you've already spewed your morning coffee the other day just wondering why your world was turned upside down the very moment you saw the headline just in case the game the night before was turned off early. Remember last year's incredible story by the Houston Astros, and how it all came together?

They were going to be the back-to-back World Series champs, giving Major League Baseball its first back-to-back in nearly two decades. It was going to be the beginning...
