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

But, At Least, The Car Still Runs, Dudnit??

Posted 06-13-2009 at 12:11 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

It's the same old story when you have to get some maintenance done on your automobile. You go in and you drive up to the service area of the car dealership and tell a service rep what you want done. And that, most of the time, is the only thing on my mind.

I'll preface by saying this: It's just an oil change.

So, with Saturn behind me and in my, um, rear-view mirror (Sorry....), I now give the folks at Toyota a chance to see what...

Well, gang, hello, once again, and it's time for more this and more that on Case's Column. Let's go all over the place once again because, dadgummit, that's what life throws at us every day. So, let's gather around that computer campfire and I'll bring you some extra marshmallows to brown until just perfect.

This night to come just has to get here sooner or later. I watched as Johnny Carson said goodbye to his faithful flock of viewers...

If You Fail To Plan, Then You Plan To Fail

Posted 05-29-2009 at 01:50 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Life can be a journey or a curse, depending on one's perspective. I often wonder sometimes if every little thing we do has to require either some plans, lots of plans, or no plans at all. It depends.

The truth is, to experience the best out of any situation in life, you have to do some kind of planning. Now, sometimes we do do things spur of the moment, what with things happening at any given moment, or I might change my mind with one thing and just do another,...

When Supper Doesn't Quite Get To The Table

You've had it happen. If you've cooked for any great length of time, it either has happened or it's going to happen at some point. It just happened to me this past evening as of the time this is being written. It's called poor judgment.


Here I was, cooking dinner in my kitchen and getting it so well-prepared for a great evening meal worthy to be partaken. The macaroni and cheese and smokehouse beans were ready to go. Everything seemed so perfect, even...

Off The Beaten Path: The Road Less Traveled

Posted 05-13-2009 at 09:13 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

It's one thing to go from one place to another as quick as you can to get to your destination using one of the many interstates in former President Dwight Eisenhower's favorite baby, the interstate highway system. Depending on where I go, those are usually the type of roads that I take. But what happens when I want to divert from the ordinary? What if I had the need to travel, in a more leisurely pace, to something not seen all the time, and also a place that practically takes...
