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

Happy Texas Independence Day, Fellow Texans

Posted 03-02-2012 at 03:09 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

This is a big day in the state of Texas, as today marks Texas Independence Day. On March 2, 1836, Texas declared its independence, breaking from Mexico to form its own republic, paving the way to becoming a U.S. state in 1845. Different celebrations will be taking place in a variety of places throughout the state today and this weekend.



And they'll especially be celebrating...

A Hot Workplace Deadline: We Made It Happen

Posted 03-02-2012 at 11:24 AM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

My vacation may have already started, but I've still got unfinished business from earlier in the week, so I intend to get this thing done before it escapes my mind completely. And I'm not even supposed to be thinking about work right now when there are better, more important things for this writer to think about. Things like leisure, for example.

I'll get to that in another post. But I can't get over one good thing that happened at work earlier in the week...

Leaping Our Way Into March - And Over The Hump

Posted 02-29-2012 at 03:41 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

As I write this, we are in the middle of a certain day that only happens once every four years. It's February 29. We refer to it as Leap Day in this, a leap year. That means (well, for those of you that like to get an early jump on things) one more shopping day to make before Christmas.

Even more special than that is that it's happening on Hump Day, which is Wednesday in between both weekends. The hump in the middle of the week, and now we must leap over...

Music Makes The World A Better Place, And So Does Good Help

Posted 02-29-2012 at 03:17 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Let me just try something here if y'all don't mind.

Hmmmmm.............I'll see if this works.

♪ ♫ ♪ ♫

Hey!

I did it!

Never before have I made such a remarkable discovery, thanks largely to a fellow poster with a good tip. I've just learned how to make musical notes on a post (Granted, just eighth notes and double eighth notes for now, but, hey, it's a start!). Okay, that may...

Timing: Either It's Good Or It's Bad

Posted 02-25-2012 at 11:33 AM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

All I was doing was waiting for a friend to call me back on the phone. We'd been playing phone tag for a couple or three calls, and she was to get back with me about some important matters. I was about to hop in the shower and was just getting some shaving cream on my face so I can get that stubble off of my face when suddenly..........

R-R-R-R-I-I-I-I-I-N-N-G-G

Yes, this had to have been quite a sight, just seeing me answer the phone with Edge shaving cream...
