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

Another Reason To Go To Work: Traditions

Posted 11-24-2009 at 01:55 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

When I wake up on Wednesday mornings to head off to the place where I sacrifice all comfort, there's a special time for the giving of a slight diversion. I've put together a very simple tradition that people now look forward to.

Most workplaces today are filled with grumpy, whiny people who look forward to three things: quitting time, vacation, and their paychecks. So, with the middle of the week coming up, I figured I'd provide a fourth thing for my...

The Substitute DJ At My Favorite Station

Posted 11-21-2009 at 03:51 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

In all the time that I've ever spent in the last few years listening to my favorite radio show on my favorite radio station, both in my car and online, I never would have imagined what I had experienced this very morning (Saturday, November 21) while at the computer. Who would have thought?

The station I listen to online is KVET-FM out of Austin, Texas (98.1), and the name of the program is the Country Gold Show. The show is a long-time Saturday morning tradition...

Give A Hug To Someone Today

Posted 11-16-2009 at 11:24 AM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

You and I wake up every day of the week and must face life with each moment out there in the real world. Headlights. Taillights. Deadlines. Pressures. Problems. Those are things none of us can escape as long as we have breath.

But I can think of the nicest way to pause from the grind of daily living. Give. We live in a take world, don't we? We spend our lives sharply focused on taking. Take this, take that, take, take, take. It's...

When The Remote Becomes Very Remote: The Mystery Of Hotel Television Sets

Posted 11-06-2009 at 06:15 AM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)
Updated 11-06-2009 at 07:15 AM by case44

As I take time to unveil some of the mysteries of life, and there are many, I have a burning question that I can't figure out. And I would venture to say that many of you are probably thinking the same thing. Every now and then, I take vacations or overnight road trips and stay at a reasonably nice hotel. It didn't matter which hotel, but every now and then, I'd always find the perfect situation. When it isn't perfect, it usually boils down to this: the hotel TV set...

Posted 11-03-2009 at 02:33 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)
Updated 11-11-2009 at 02:02 PM by case44

Here we go with more scattershooting for the masses and with the masses. I hope you've got a little time to "spin the bottle" with the Casester, so let's gather around that cozy computer campfire and we'll get this little hoedown going. Be sure to bring some extra logs.

It's almost here. Thanksgiving. Turkey at the table with all the trimmings. Families gathering together. The Macy's annual parade. The Cowboys (Okay,...
