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,

Food Good Enough To Eat.......And To Wear!

Posted 05-31-2013 at 03:30 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Sometimes, it just gets real comical how I can go to restaurants to grab some good grub and expect to get through the meal without getting any of it on me. On some visits, well, no problem. And others, well........

Case in point (pun vigorously intended): The scene from this morning. It's not very often that I order pancakes from any restaurant, café, bistro, or fast-foodery. This morning, I had blueberry pancakes with not enough butter, ample maple...

Remakes Or Originals? It Depends On What Sounds The Best

As a music listener, I've heard many songs done through the years by a number of singers. Somewhere along the way, a singer's career goes so many years, and therefore, that artist might be recording so many albums. And along with albums come the singles which often get radio play beforehand. With that process, I might see a long-time artist tend to do a remake of a song. Sometimes it's a remake of a piece that was previously a big hit for said artist. Other times, you'll...

America, We Get Exactly What We Deserve

America has long been a country rich in tradition and history. Go through many history books, and you'll see all the events that helped shape our great nation into the powerful country that we all know and love. You'll turn page after page, and you will find presidents who have served our land and other people who've helped define America's history in numerous relationships of life, from fighting wars to establishing states to inventions to new ways of life. Freedom was our mantra, ...

Houston Gets Super Nod As It Gets The Super Bowl In 2017

Posted 05-21-2013 at 06:48 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)
Updated 05-27-2013 at 02:38 PM by case44

You knew it was a matter of time before this would take place. After a great week of hosting the 2004 Super Bowl and being lauded throughout the NFL as successful, the city of Houston is getting another opportunity to host this grand event, this time in 2017.

Thirteen years. That's all the NFL needed before going back to the Bayou City for more. In my opinion, having it in Houston --- and in Texas, for that matter --- is best for the game. After...

It Was A Dark And Stormy Night....

Posted 05-20-2013 at 08:14 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Well, not yet, but it's got the makings. After seeing one tornado after another dance around areas close to me (and my Oklahoma City cousins) in the last week, and, particularly, the last few hours, the storm watch is on again in my hometown.

Such is part of the rite of passage in this thing called spring. I don't mind the thunderstorms trying to rage through; I just don't want hail or tornadoes. My bedtime may be just a few short minutes away, but that...
