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,

New Computer Tower Means Big Adjustments

Posted 09-07-2011 at 05:59 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Let's just say, for the record, that I've done everything I could to protect the first and only computer I've ever had. There were great memories and wonderful moments on that thing that I've enjoyed having in the bedroom of my 808-square-foot abode since 2006. It was easy to use until the speed started slowing down. Usually, that means things like viruses and unwanted "visitors" meant taking the tower to the shop for repairs.

And this morning, one more...

Previously, we have visited a little time where people have wondered about the whys about the poster that is........, well, me. There is always something about your favorite people that others want to know about. I'm sure you've had more questions that you were just dying to know the answer to, so here now are more tasty tidbits and inquiries from readers out there. In fact, I know you have; you were just afraid to ask.

Q: You always seem to have a...

One Year Later And Still Missing That Old Show

Posted 09-03-2011 at 11:10 AM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

With every Saturday that passes, I can't get that radio show out of my mind. One year after KVET Country Gold abruptly leaves the airwaves because of a disagreement over a really stupid idea, the void is still there, both in Austin and on my computer.

Every time I make posts on the Music forums, it's still on my mind. Heck, what I'm telling you right now would make a great country song. The longtime staple of KVET-FM (98.1), which, for over 20 years, provided...

Big 12 Thoughts And Longhorn Nuggets

Posted 08-29-2011 at 07:14 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

So, it's appearing that Texas A&M will be leaving the Big 12 sometime in the next few years, but you already knew that. Who should join the Big 12? You've heard all the rumors, the movers, the shakers, and the predictors strutting their stuff as they speculate. My take? It should be a team that already has joined the Mountain West Conference.

That's right. Boise State. This school would have been perfect for the Big 12 Conference had it just waited...

Back Home Again In The Case Abode

Posted 08-23-2011 at 05:12 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

I'm actually a little late in writing this, but this sort of thing happens when a certain writer whom you read all the time gets preoccupied. Glad to be back in Big D territory, but heck, if I didn't have to go back to work, I'd have stayed in the Houston area to get second and third orders at some of my favorite restaurants and attended another Astros game.

I had a wonderful time down there on my longest vacation this calendar year. Come November, I'll be taking...
