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

Not That I Have To Keep Putting Things Off, But....

Posted 04-26-2014 at 07:42 AM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

.....I've been meaning to get something for quite some time now. The trouble is, I've put other things before it. As it is, I'm one of the world's worst when it comes to procrastinating. If only I could just put it off....

It's just that I've had every intention of going to Wallyworld (that's Wal-Mart for those of you out of the loop) to get one simple thing I've never possessed before. Here's the dill, pickle: On Sunday mornings, I take a half-dose of synthroid...

No Rain In My Neighborhood, But I Got A Good Lightning Show

Posted 04-21-2014 at 07:44 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

So, once upon a time, there was supposed to be a big thunderstorm event in my part of the big Dallas-Fort Worth area. My neighborhood got nothing. Other people got some much-needed rain. Some forecast. Yes, we need rain, but there are times when the National Weather Service likes to play with my emotions.

Okay, no big events...............well, maybe one. Tonight, anyway. Too bad I couldn't get a picture while I was running errands, but we had a lightning...

KOKE-FM Making Changes Once Again

Posted 04-19-2014 at 06:49 AM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Just when you thought KOKE-FM was still getting more established, well, now they've decided to make another change. Within the bounds of Genuine Austin Radio, the honchos have determined that it'd be okay to part with one of their three FM frequencies.

They already have 99.3, which reaches a substantial tract of Central Texas landscape, along with 98.5, which reaches those places that 99.3 can't. So, they're parting with the 105.3 FM channel and changing the format...

Letterman To Say Goodbye To CBS, But What Will The Future Hold With Colbert?

Posted 04-12-2014 at 09:55 AM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Sooner or later, David Letterman was going to make a decision. After all, he had been on national television in one form or another for about three decades. You already know about his gigs at NBC and CBS with "Late Night" and "The Late Show", respectively.

I used to watch his show quite often but don't anymore because of my work schedule being what it is. Lately, I've been hearing about some of Letterman's bits on his recent shows. I'm under the...

Scattershooting Again / Mickey Rooney Remembered

Posted 04-07-2014 at 07:30 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Never mind that your Monday was filled with stress and mine wasn't. I have some more tidbits to share with you as you chill out and take your respite right here on City-Data, where it's great to be alive. It's this thing I do now and then which I call Scattershooting, and I'm going here and there to share a piece of my life ---- and, perhaps, a few others ---- with all of you out there in Computerland.

********

Before I do anything else with you, we...
