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,

Okay, so the story was released last winter, but this is still very good news for travelers in South Texas. First, this link to give you an idea.

Official: Falfurrias bypass likely won’t be tolled - Brownsville Herald: Valley

No portion of Interstate 69 or its components need to be tolled at all. Falfurrias residents and anyone region-wide will enjoy the benefits of a new stretch of recently-completed freeway. In past years, city officials had been worried...

I Missed An Epic Finish Last Night

Posted 11-08-2013 at 02:44 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Texas high school football is always a great respite anytime, whether the game at hand is boring or entertaining. Two teams I witnessed on Thursday added to their rivalry history by participating in what ended up being one of the greatest finishes in Frisco Independent School District history. And this writer didn't stick around for it.

I actually thought nothing of it after halftime, but I had to leave in the third quarter of the Wakeland-Liberty game because...

Have No Fear - Baseball Will Be Back Again

Posted 11-01-2013 at 09:59 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

So, another World Series has ended, with the Boston Red Sox the victors this time around. Daylight Savings Time will end Sunday, and that means it gets dark earlier, the holidays and winter cometh forth soon, college football fans are awaiting one more bowl season, the NBA is getting started, and NFL football is setting the table for potential playoff berths.

Baseball teams are now going into the offseason to look at players, including the statuses of current...

Memo To Wait Staffers: Just Write The Order Down Anyway

Posted 10-28-2013 at 10:12 AM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)
Updated 10-28-2013 at 10:46 AM by case44

I couldn't help but think about my trip just taken and one of the things that happened on it. And I just knew that something like this was going to happen at some point. In fact, it's almost like I've waited for this moment to happen.

Usually, when you go to a restaurant, and it's a sit-down place with laminated menus and wait staff, you would expect any person who's taking your order to write the order down for submission to the servers. That takes place most of the...

Sunday Morning Solitude: Ahhh, What A Feeling!

Posted 10-27-2013 at 06:03 AM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Normally, right about this time, I'm usually at work just slaving my life away. Well, not this Sunday, sports fans. Your favorite blogger decided to take two Sundays off for vacation and he happens to be sitting in this chair at his computer and typing away.

As I do that, I'm hearing a sound. It's really no sound at all. Maybe the occasional bird chirping outdoors or the occasional car that almost quietly passes by. This is Sunday morning at the Case abode....
