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,

If The Houston Rockets Can Keep It Up, Then....

Posted 02-10-2018 at 08:27 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

....they have a shot to be the second sports team in town to win a championship in less than a year. While I haven't exactly followed the NBA as much as I used to, this year certainly bears a lot of curiosity.

Not since Hakeem Olajuwon, Rudy T, and Clyde the Glide has Houston been able to shine this much on the basketball front. And this year, they've got the NBA's second-best record at this part of February with a couple of months left in the season. After the Astros'...

Mardi Gras And Valentine's Day On Tap For Next Week

Posted 02-08-2018 at 09:40 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Busy week, eh? Next week will be if you've got a significant other and are looking for a place to celebrate Valentine's Day early.

It's that time of year again. Mardi Gras is being celebrated in many places, but especially in New Orleans and Galveston. The big day occurs this coming Tuesday. I'll be at Pappadeaux in my local area having some Cajun food with a co-worker. Might even get some beads from the wait staff. And, for the record, no, I'm not...

Wrong Number Must Be My Middle Name

Posted 02-06-2018 at 08:37 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Ever have an unwanted phone call on your telephone? Ever have several of them in a short span, by different people? I wouldn't say that my situation is quite that drastic, but I'd rather get phone calls from people I actually know. Personally, if it's not some hot female on the other end, then I'd resist the call.

Chances are, you'll, from time to time, get calls from people that think they've reached their party when they get on your answering machine, and...

Why Roundabouts At Freeway Interchanges Won't Work

Posted 02-04-2018 at 08:30 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

It's a new thing in some locations. There's a new craze in road construction to lessen the use of traffic signals and keep cars moving. They're called roundabouts.

Oh, you've seen them. Some places, they're appropriate for use. In many cities, roundabouts are going in in lieu of traffic signals at a number of intersections. But what about others? Now, we're seeing them go in at freeway interchanges. Might seem like a good idea....for cars.... until you...

New District Alignment Is Something Frisco Will Have To Get Used To

Posted 02-01-2018 at 07:30 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Today just became the first day of the rest of your life if you're the Frisco (Texas) Independent School District. It will never be the same again from a community standpoint.

Well, you were warned months ago. This is what happens when you have a school district containing more than eight high schools, and this is the fruit it brings (or the poison, depending on your point of view). Ain't the Texas University Interscholastic League great? Nevertheless, all...
