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,

In life, you get greeted with a lot of things, and that sometimes includes unwanted things. So, when it came time four weeks ago to prepare for a simple medical procedure, the unthinkable had been asked of me by my endocrinologist.

Go on a low-iodine diet.

Preparation for any kind of treatment often demands sacrifice, and this was no exception. No dairy products. No iodized salt. No chocolate. No cured meats (bacon, ham, sausage,...

Midnight Work Shift About To Come To An End For Case

Posted 04-17-2010 at 06:14 AM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

The sweetest words to my ears arrived in earnest last week, when word at my workplace revealed a new template for a work schedule was finally announced. After six long months, the day will finally come, but in my workplace, we can't get used to anything, including unfavorable trends. The question is, where do I go from here?

That question will be answered sometime this next week, but I have decided one thing for certain. I have made the decision not to work...

There'll Be A Draft Blowing In On Thursday: NFL Draft Now Goes Prime Time

Posted 04-17-2010 at 05:53 AM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

I'll preface with this: NFL commish Roger Goodell is not a desperate man. Really, he isn't. There's just this hankering to do something a little different. All he wants is for more people to have access to the things football fans are interested in the most. Such will be the case on Thursday night, of all things, when the NFL Draft begins its first round of pickin' and grinnin'.

Yes, just a few years ago, this was a Saturday morning thing. Not anymore....

Eating The Friendly Skies? Thoughts On Airports And Concessionaires

Posted 04-10-2010 at 07:54 AM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

The internet offers opportunities that nothing else previously ever provided. Such was the case earlier this morning, when I decided to look up airport websites. Just curious, but then, that's the reason for the internet in the first place.

I looked at several sites and locations around the country. To my amazement, we've had a new trend in some airports in recent years where restaurant concessions featured the local tastes of the area which the airport serves....

Goodbye, Texas Stadium - Thanks For The Memories

Posted 04-09-2010 at 06:10 AM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

On Sunday, April 11, a uniquely American landmark will finally see the final curtain come down. Texas Stadium, home of my Dallas Cowboys football team from 1971 to 2008, will be demolished just after dawn, effectively putting a close to one of America's greatest sports venues.

Many memories were made in that place for all the years of its existence. Texas Stadium was built for the Cowboys to replace their perch in the venerable Cotton Bowl, which was their first...
