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,

Postage Stamp Prices Decreasing, And I Couldn't Be Happier

Posted 04-15-2016 at 12:41 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

I should say, they never should have gone up in the first place. We spend too much money on too many things as it is, but this news here is beyond pleasant when there's so much bad news out there.

I'm talking about, of course, postage stamps.

Beginning back on April 10, they've gone from 49 cents to 47 cents for one first-class stamp. There is plenty of reason to rejoice. The U.S. Postal Service is actually doing Americans a favor, something...

Buddy Holly Hall Will Offer A New Musical Venue In The Hub City

Posted 04-13-2016 at 07:48 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Lubbock's been waiting for this. Boy, has that town waited. And now, we're going to see progress. You won't see it yet in the flesh, but you can take a look at the designs for what the Buddy Holly Hall of Performing Arts and Sciences will look like.

And just dig the curvature design to be placed on a communications tower adjacent to the eventual complex, and it's going to light up at night. All in anticipation for the great new venue in the Hub City. It promises...

And There Are Other Body Parts Needing Correcting

Posted 04-08-2016 at 08:52 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

We go from me trying to lose a little weight to fixing two problems. One just got fixed (for now) and the other is in the process of healing.

First off, I got a new prescription of lenses for my glasses. My eyesight with my current pair was as messed up as messed up can be. This time around, I took it upon myself to see someone totally different. In the meantime, I resorted to wearing a backup pair of glasses (my previous pair before the purchase of my latest pair two...

See-saw Weight Issue Never Stops For Case

Posted 04-07-2016 at 05:44 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

I love to eat. There are times that I have to pause from the things I love to either fast a little bit or just eat less. The problem is, I don't do that challenging expedition often enough.

Mind you, I'm no expert on dieting and exercise, so you can't really expect me, your favorite blogger, to give you advice on either. Ol' Case is just doing the hokey-pokey around the 260-pound line. I'm supposed to be south of it and going down, but I somehow keep going...

Yesterday Was Square Root Day: 4-4-16

Posted 04-05-2016 at 02:14 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Amazing how we don't think about the intricacies of the hidden calendar. From the one that's got strange holidays on it, here's a lulu for you.

Yesterday just happened to be April 4, or 4-4-16. It was called Square Root Day. For those of you who are proficient in math, the square root of 16 is 4. 4x4=16, so that explains yesterday's date. And when will the next Square Root Day be? Try 5-5-25. That's right, that will be a good nine years from now....
