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,

case44

Case's Vacation Preview: Coming Up Roses Again

Updated 02-21-2012 at 06:53 PM by case44

That time is almost here again. In just a couple of weeks, the Casester will be hitting the road for another relaxing road trip. This go-around will find me heading for East Texas and the Piney Woods region once more. I'll plan to spend a little more time there than I did the last time around, but since I have a hankering to see some new things, I'm adding a new place I've never been to before.

I'll get to that addenda shortly. First off, I'll be making my way...

Sleep Tight If You Can - And Possibly Some Pleasant Dreams

Posted 02-19-2012 at 03:15 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

The intention was to get more sleep than I've been getting going into my first work day back from my weekend (which, in this case, is Friday and Saturday). It's uncanny the things that occur during the most nocturnal conditions. Have a crazy dream, wake up to get a drink of water, and then have another crazy dream.

Last night, I slept great and had a dream which I don't remember now, except that it was weird. I tend to have many of those from time to time. Around...

Bridging The Gaps In Dallas: New MHH Project Near Completion

Posted 02-17-2012 at 06:41 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)
Updated 02-17-2012 at 07:04 PM by case44

Prior to this year, the only bridge Dallas was really famous for was the Houston Street viaduct that was featured in the TV show, "Dallas" many moons ago. That all changes this coming March. When we get there, Dallas will truly become a bridge city.

The opening of the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge on March 2 will offer a foretaste of things to come for the city. It will be a unique style with its big arch and the accompanying cable attachments. This...

To All Out There, A Happy Valentine's Day For 2012

Posted 02-14-2012 at 04:07 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Sooner or later, I needed to include this on my blog page. With nearly four years gone since I began this massive undertaking, I couldn't possibly overlook this particular day any longer, no matter my marital status. I'd best do it, or else, all my female readers will commence to flogging me behind the wood shed.

It, indeed, is Valentine's Day. That means many of you will see a sea of red everywhere. Department stores. Malls. Grocery store promotions....

More North Texas Winter Musings From The Casester

Posted 02-10-2012 at 05:40 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)
Updated 02-13-2012 at 04:47 PM by case44

This winter season has become one where I'm actually going to be disappointed if it snows before spring. Really. I'm pulling for us to go the entire winter without a single snowflake in my hometown. Usually, my area gets one to two snow events each season. Tonight and tomorrow night, however, will offer the lowest lows, by far, for this entire winter. Lows are expected to be around 25 to 28.

Seems like the Abominable Snowman decided to shed his fur and...
