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,

case44

And In May, It's Not Supposed To Get Cold

Posted 05-02-2013 at 05:45 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Owww, doggie, it's cold out there tonight! Try a low of 38 degrees in Dallas tonight. I'll just be glad if this is the final, final, final cold spell we get here.

I mean, come on, Cinco de Mayo is in three days, for crying out loud. Granted, it will be 64 tomorrow, but the last thing I desire to turn on this evening is my space heater. I just know that, sooner or later, I'll be cranking up that air conditioner wherever I have one as...

May Already?? Really? Where Has The Time Gone?

Posted 05-01-2013 at 06:16 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

I'm telling you, Father Time needs to start slowing things down a little bit, don't you think? Seems like yesterday was tax day (as well as my niece's birthday) and the day before was St Paddy's Day. It looks as though Baby New Year is hitting the early stages of adolescence.

We have arrived in the month of May here in this world. May is traditionally a big month here in North Texas, but also in my own backyard (or what passes for one). What with warmer...

Time No Longer Standing Still In The Workout Room

Posted 04-24-2013 at 07:00 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

It would have made for a more interesting request to present to management. You can only imagine the punchlines I would have just cooked up to tell the man in the office when the time came for such a thing. For a couple of months, the time in the exercise room at my apartment complex was stuck on 9:38.

Talk about the stories never been told, both by myself and countless others. Twenty minutes on the treadmill, left at 9:38. Next day, arrive at 9:38, do crunches...

One More Week And Willie Turns 80

Posted 04-23-2013 at 08:08 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

There is red-hot anticipation in Texas for a big event for the Red-Headed Stranger. And in Austin, he's not really a stranger at all, but an ambassador. He's known to all Texans simply as Willie.

Country legend Willie Nelson is going to have a birthday this next week. Not just any birthday, but an 80-year-young birthday! Eighty years of age. Can you believe it? Deejays, fellow country artists, and music lovers will be planning on gathering at The Backyard...

Changes On The Horizon For The Casester

Posted 04-23-2013 at 04:01 AM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)
Updated 05-08-2013 at 03:53 PM by case44

People have always said that change is good. And other times, you've heard people say that they don't like change. Such things are always the case with the course of life. Well, with the things in my life that need a little restructuring, sometimes I'll probably hear it from both sides.

In the coming days and weeks, Ol' Case has a few traditions that will end, but some new ones will be beginning. This has been thought about for some time, but I believe...
