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,

Time No Longer Standing Still In The Workout Room
It would have made for a more interesting request to present to management. You can only imagine the punchlines I would have just cooked up to tell the man in the office when the time came for such a thing. For a couple of months, the time in the exercise room at my apartment complex was stuck on 9:38.
Talk about the stories never been told, both by myself and countless others. Twenty minutes on the treadmill, left at 9:38. Next day, arrive at 9:38, do crunches and jump rope. Then roll over on the exercise ball. Leaving. Still 9:38. Next day comes, and it's 30 minutes on the stationary bike. More treadmill. Jumping jacks. Still 9:38.
It's almost like lather, rinse, repeat, over and over again. Go one week without going in the workout room, then step back into the workout room, crunches, weight training, jump rope, treadmill......
Still 9:38!
Maybe time really should stand still. After all, I am 46 and wish to stay young, peppy, and downright sexy. The fountain of youth. Oh, to be 39 again, moving quicker than I am right now, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound and move mountains and part the Red Sea. Or in my case, Lewisville Lake. Oh, if I could be young just a little more and put off the next few.....
So, I walked into my manager's office and put in a work order for a new clock battery. No one else had done it, so guess who acted alone and became that hero that would leap over those tall buildings??

How funny is this? I made a couple of adjustments and corrections on my post without looking at the clock. And, lo and behold, when all was said and done, would you believe that time was 9:38??
