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,

Tulsa Gathering Place One To Behold

Posted 12-24-2019 at 02:32 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Hard to believe that a project this grand was just several blocks of dirt the last time I was in Tulsa. And it's been too long since I've been in T-Town, so this writer will need to get his arse back there.

The Gathering Place is what I'm talking about. Many of you have heard about it, but it's Tulsa's new superpark with numerous places to play and, well, gather. Previously, the city parks which lined Riverside Drive in Tulsa were just too inadequate, so the city...

A Few Important Days For '20 If You Like Holidays

Posted 12-22-2019 at 07:15 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

I know that many of you are gearing up to put that new calendar up on the kitchen wall (or any other place you might keep it; after all, we're different ). 2020 is right around the corner.

Some notable holidays fall on days some folks already have off from work or are part of a long weekend. And there are a few others that harbor mentioning. Case has your highlights:

Groundhog Day (February 2) will take place on Super Bowl Sunday.

More Scattershooting / Getting In The Spirit With An Ugly Sweater

Posted 12-15-2019 at 08:33 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

While you all are still making your lists and checking them thrice, your writer is back with more Scattershooting in this cozy arcade known as Case's Column. So much to look at and never enough time to do it. This is a short Christmas season, and, so, if I were you, I'd procrastinate later on.

********

This coming Wednesday (as of this writing), the people at work are putting on Ugly Sweater Day. Needless to say, I'm prepared for it. ...

Lubbock May Have Scored With New Promo

Posted 12-14-2019 at 08:51 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

For starters, this promo may have been unexpected. That's because Lubbock has a new ad out telling people that the Hub City is unexpected.

Our friend shoe01 pointed me in that direction a few days ago, and I took a looky at the new promo. Lubbock has always needed new creativity, and so, maybe this time could be the charm. The ad was very impressive. It even included the future completed product of the Buddy Holly Hall of Performing Arts & Sciences. ...

Case In The Kitchen Again --- And Something New

Posted 12-10-2019 at 07:47 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)
Updated 12-11-2019 at 04:06 PM by case44

I only said, for this Christmas luncheon at work, that I would just bring macaroni salad. Well, when a co-worker bringing the green beans tomorrow is absent today, it motivated me to initiate an idea.

So, we needed another green vegetable for the luncheon. I was already bringing something cold, already prepared at the local Market Street, but I needed to still come up with something hot to bring an added flair to our food groupings for Hump Day. That same...
