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,

Music Time: A Soothing Rendition Of Vivaldi

Posted 03-08-2023 at 08:45 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

I'm sure many of you have heard music composed by Antonio Vivaldi. There's a piece penned by him which I've heard for many years, dating all the way to when I was a kid, and it was played on PBS-TV's "Sesame Street".

Yes, that far back.

So, as I've listened to music on YouTube, I often turn back to this classic piece. Emotions are captured, and the effect is powerful. What's also offered here is a form of soothing, of relaxation. ...

There's A New Twist On Low-Calorie Drinks

Posted 03-03-2023 at 08:40 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

You would never catch me drinking a Diet anything. Diet Coke or Diet Dr Pepper or Diet Pepsi, what have you. I'd rather sip toilet water in Grand Central Station than purchase any diet sodie pop at any store.

But there is something far more revolutionary out there when one doesn't even desire regular soda. I'm cutting back on it, too, but I found a kind of drink that is way better..........and more nutritious. Ol' Case is now a firm believer in Cascade Ice. It's...

Torrential, But Strange: Tonight's North Texas Storms

Posted 03-02-2023 at 07:55 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

In my part of the world, my neighborhood is, for the most part, intact. No cars blew away with the winds.

North Texas was getting an early taste of spring with today's round of thunderstorms. There was some thunder and lightning, but oddly enough, it happened on the back end of the torrential thunderstorm clash. As that system moved through, the winds almost looked like hurricane force. All that was missing from my apartment complex was a needed palm tree or...

Case's Thought For The Day: Something Mae Once Said

Posted 02-23-2023 at 09:24 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

I think it's time I give you my Thought For The Day, and this borrows a line from the late actress Mae West, but then, we've all faced this at some point.

It goes like this: "I generally avoid temptation unless I can't resist it."
