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,

A Brief Tale Of The Lost Badge Caper
Posted 06-06-2014 at 06:18 AM by case44
Monday morning, while your favorite blogger was on his way to work, it looked for a little bit like my life was going to end. Or, perhaps, my sanity. Either way, the thirty agonizing minutes of hysteria was so not worth it.
Here's what happened: I was simply on my way to work on a Monday morning, and I had all my things together. The badge I have on me in order to get into the building is attached to my one of the loops on my cotton pants. It was on when I walked out the door to get in the car. After driving through the drive-thru at Whataburger to get my breakfast, I had arrived at work. Once I'd eaten my breakfast biscuit, I got my things, got out of the car, and approached the door to get into the workplace to do some pre-shift work when.............
.................I discovered that my badge was missing!
On my mind was "@&#*&!@^&!"
So, I had to scurry back to the Case abode to look for my badge. Talk about hysterics, and that is what I dealt with. I looked in the front part between my car seat and the console where I think it might have been. Nothing. So, I was at the apartment looking everywhere. Nothing. Dejected, I went back to the car and made my way back to work, thinking that I was going to need a new badge. The next thing I did during the drive was look in the back part of my car seat next to the console. Guess what? The badge was found there in the narrow cavern between them. Should have looked everywhere else in my car first, don't you think?
Thirty minutes of &#@^&#! hysterics, and all for nothing. Well, I can say this: All is right with my part of the world once again.
