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,

Did My Christmas Wish List Suddenly Get Longer?

Posted 11-28-2012 at 06:40 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Okay, that's just jumping to conclusions. The more important needs I have now, I'll get before Mr and Mrs Claus lift even a finger. All those things I'm asking for Christmas?? Well, we can worry about those later, as they'll eventually appear under the tree on time and on Christmas morning.

It's just that I'm getting more frustrated at the decreasing amount of time that a simple pair of pants can go without getting completely worn out. Notice I said decreasing....

Time for some more scattershooting for the masses while we're all finishing what's left of all the Thanksgiving leftovers. Hope y'all out there have had the grandest of all holidays, even though the Big One is still coming up in a month. Got to get my Christmas list going with some goodies to write down. And if you don't like the holiday season, well, you just don't like mom's homemade apple pie.

Happy Thanksgiving, Dear Readers, And All The Best!

Posted 11-22-2012 at 04:10 AM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

It's the third-most time of year we've waited for (behind the 4th of July and Christmas). I may be going to work, but many of you will be watching parades or old movies. Now, don't worry about me; after work, I'll be going over to my mother's place and there will be the big feast. ..... And some football games....

Take time out to be with your family today. It's worth it. Whatever you do and wherever you go today, enjoy that time together with someone...

After A Mild Winter Last Year, What Happens Now?

Posted 11-17-2012 at 06:23 AM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Last winter, hands down, was the strangest one since I've been alive. I've lived in North Texas my entire life, and I had never seen a winter like the one we had this past year. On only one occasion did we have temperatures below freezing. It was the durndest thing, but I'm not complaining. No snow. No ice. The refreshing thing about last winter is that I didn't have to get the ice scraper out of the glove compartment.

So, now, we are one month away from...

The Texans In The Super Bowl? Don't Count Them Out

Posted 11-12-2012 at 04:15 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

If I didn't have to go to work an hour early this morning, I'd have stayed up to watch a nice battle of two NFL defenses going after it. And to think that, just two years ago, the Houston Texans hardly had much defense, despite having a roster full of talent.

They've added and subtracted players since then, but they've also brought in Wade Phillips as defensive coordinator a couple of years ago, and what a difference he's made for them. Houston now has the number 3...
