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

Many folks around here tend to wonder about the different facets of people, and that includes our fellow posters. Things like the following:

"What makes you tick?"

"What ticks you off?"

"What's with this thing you do?"

"What's your favorite _____ ?"

"What do you do when you're not posting?"

And I've been asked questions on various subjects by people...

Mavericks Finally In The Same Sentence With Champions

Posted 06-16-2011 at 07:17 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

I still remember the very first year that the Dallas Mavericks came into the NBA for the very first time. This was back in 1980, and the novice expansionist was trying hard to make inroads in a city where football forever reigned(s) supreme and baseball, at that time, was very bad. Dick Motta. Don Carter. The potential for something special was born.

Years would pass, and coaches would come and go, and we've seen the good, the bad, and the ugly in Dallas...

Here's A Way To Get A Discount: Get The Order Wrong

Posted 06-09-2011 at 06:12 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)
Updated 06-09-2011 at 06:26 PM by case44

In a blog I did long, long ago, I discussed the travails of fast food line waiting and the order takers not listening to me when I order my meal. Now, we take the same basic idea to a sit-down restaurant, but this time, something happens after I was sure the order was made.

You see, this afternoon, I celebrated the start to my weekend at a local Cracker Barrel, and the waitress for today took my order and everything seemed just fine. Well, everything except the...

Two Long Runs Closing The Curtain: Oprah And Jerry

Posted 05-30-2011 at 06:38 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

One long television run ended just this past week. Another will end on September 4. It doesn't seem possible, but television will be going on about its ways without two longtime stalwarts, Oprah Winfrey and Jerry Lewis.

Winfrey was on the tube decorating people's afternoons for 25 years, and back in the day, it didn't take long for her to resonate with the American public. Her popularity soared to the point where her weekday talk show (which originally began at Chicago's...

The Joplin Tornado: A Reminder Of The Strength Of Nature's Forces

Posted 05-25-2011 at 08:03 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

It took one big path for one really wide tornado. That's all it would take for destruction like nothing this Texas critter had ever seen. You've probably seen the pics all over Google or any other internet source and can't find adequate words to describe the scenes at hand.

Sunday night, the city of Joplin, Missouri was forever changed. It took just one tornado to wipe out practically 80 percent of the city. And said pics would tell the whole story, and in...
