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,

Are The Astros Ready For A Championship?

Posted 08-12-2015 at 08:38 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

The new armor still has a lot of cracks in it despite flashes of excitement. This year's Houston Astros are doing everything they can to put the aches and pains of rebuilding behind them by adding pieces to a young team and executing a plan to win now.

Now, keep in mind, I did mention that there are cracks in the armor.

The offense still sputters when they should be clutch. That was evident in this last road trip, which was capped off with a 2-0 victory over...

Scattershooting / Taking Advantage Of A Tax-Free Weekend

Posted 08-08-2015 at 08:07 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)
Updated 08-12-2015 at 08:24 PM by case44

While you're probably either getting some weekend shopping done or just sitting in your cool habitat and cranking up the cold A/C air to keep you chilled, take pause right here, because you and I are once again on the outskirts and about to do some Scattershooting....

********

You usually think about this when school is about to start. I think about it when I want to get a few things and wish to save money. Whatever everyone's reason is, it's the annual...

Let's Just Fry An Egg In The Parking Lot

Posted 08-07-2015 at 10:08 AM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

You pick the place. Just pick. Anywhere in the state of Texas. Won't matter where. It's over 100 degrees outside in Texas, and things are hot all over. But, then, what'd you expect in August? Icicles? No way, Jose. They wouldn't last four seconds.

It's just too easy for me to kid about the conditions during what usually is the hottest month of the year every year. Got any eggs? Roll sausage? Hash browns? Pancake batter? Great. Ol' Case...

I'm Like, "Did I Post 32 Times On THAT Thread?"

Posted 08-01-2015 at 08:50 AM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

I just had an out-of-body experience. Really. Either that, or I'm in the Twilight Zone.

It's just that I've been in the Music forums doing my usual things, and I came upon wanting to post in the "10-Song Shuffle" thread. The thread is six years old already, and many people have posted on it through the years with a set of ten songs that they'd play on an iPod or some other device. A few minutes ago, I looked through the many who have posted there...

RoughRiders, Tuesdays, Empty Seats, And Tacos

Posted 07-28-2015 at 08:42 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Okay, so it's not a Friday or Saturday night, but any time is a good time for a dose of minor league baseball. And Frisco, Texas, offers such an inviting backdrop for the flyballs and homers.

Where better place than Dr Pepper Ballpark? After all, the Frisco RoughRiders are right up the road from me, so they've got a nice diversion when I can't get to the major league games. The home of the Rangers' AA team is also the home of Taco Tuesdays. I get two tacos for...
