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,

I Couldn't Help But Notice, But Isn't That A Sheep?

I'd have to direct you to a specific link. If this weren't the strangest thing I've ever seen, then, perhaps, nothing is.

Contained is an article from Harvard Business Review about people's overconfidence, but I guess some may not be aware that a sheep isn't a person. It looks like he's trying to fly between some tall rocks over the sea. At least, that's what the picture suggests....

Well, here, take a look.

Ol' Case Needed A Good Laugh, But You Might Not Believe Where

Sometimes, we have our moments right here on City-Data, where it's great to be alive. We've put together (well, from time to time) memorable threads that can provide great moments for a lot of people.

And one thread that comes to mind was one called "Name The Tune" in our Music forum. Lots of things happen in that particular ball of wax, designed as a game to see which poster can name a specific tune with a very limited clue. And music games are, indeed,...

And She Was Just Trying To Sell Me Something

Leave it to a trip to the nearby shopping mall to get someone an experience not soon forgotten. It turns out that I was that someone, but that experience, for what it's worth, could have gone one of two ways.

When you walk the corridors of most indoor malls in the United States, you pass by little bitty diversions called kiosks. You know what I'm talking about if you've seen those things. And, often, when a single guy who is not accompanied by anyone happens to...

Scattershooting / And Then There Was Much Sputtering

Posted 12-04-2018 at 07:22 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Well, I again bid you welcome to this cozy respite known to you as Scattershooting. It's where I go here, there, and everywhere. While you're pondering your Christmas shopping endeavors, let me share with you all endeavors of another kind.

Mine, of course....

Sooner or later, as good as my 2011 Toyota Camry was, it was just bound to happen. After all, it had been a well-run, well-maintained automobile that...

Procedural Success: Three Years From Now? Try Five Years

Posted 12-03-2018 at 11:56 AM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

First of all, as time goes by ever so swiftly, you need to get your colon checked out. Just do it. Get that colonoscopy.

And that was what I did this morning, as I have done every three years or so for the past ten years. Coming out of the procedure area, I got the best news that any doctor, even the nicest of the nice, could ever give.

No polyps.

None. Nada. Zip. Zilch. And this is with a history of polyps. My...
