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,

Could The Astros Prove Their Critics Wrong?

Updated 10-03-2020 at 07:31 PM by case44

The Houston Astros sure have had some surreal things happen to them for about a year now. Pinch me and see if I'm dreaming. Well, reality set in with a stupid series of scandals the franchise had no business involving itself with. Now, after a shortened season in which the 'Stros finished with a losing record and a ton of injuries, not the least of which was starting pitcher Justin Verlander (Tommy John surgery), they once again will have to prove that they belong among baseball's...

Cooler Weather Now In North Texas

Posted 09-25-2020 at 03:44 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Those of you who have plenty of weather to complain about have nothing to complain about now. Man, it's been nice in North Texas this week.

The first day of fall has come and gone like a car running a stop sign. And it's been spring-like the last few days. If only we could have this type of weather pattern all year long, right? Your writer would gladly take it. And considering this is Texas, well, nothing lasts forever. After a warmup to near 90...

Who'da Thunk It? Lubbock Is On The List For Best Business Climate

Posted 09-20-2020 at 08:50 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

This bit of news will certainly benefit those who might leave a really big city to possibly go to a smaller one. Wouldn't hurt. So when Business Facilities came out with their mid-sized market report, a familiar name made that list.

Lubbock, which I've previously mentioned on Case's Column just because I care , has been listed as the number five place in America with the best business climate. Not bad. Considering the area gets 280 days of sunshine each year,...

How NOT To Lose Weight? Just Don't Do What Case Once Did

Posted 09-17-2020 at 07:25 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)
Updated 09-17-2020 at 08:27 PM by case44

There are funny stories through this thing called life, and then there are horror stories. How you interpret the following will depend solely on your perspective.

I can't remember the year, but it was this millennium when this incident had taken place. Back then, all types of miracles were advertised in one form or another, with the hope of enticing folks with a little need to scratch an itch. All I was trying to do at the time was lose a little weight, and your...
