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

Well, gang, here we are once again with more this and that from the great view of my second-floor patio at my humble abode. We are going to scattershoot yet again. And you, the humble and discerning reader, are worth all of that. So, let's gather around the computer campfire and I'll bring some extra hangers for those huge marshmallows.

Usually in major league baseball, the order of strategy in games for managers is to utilize...

Man, I Never Thought Spring Would Actually Get Here

Old Man Winter just wouldn't give up, would he? The Abominable Snowman had plenty of reason to rejoice and revel in this series of winter snow blasts throughout our nation this past season.

It seems in the state of Texas that penguins have replaced road runners. We've had a winter where there was more snow measured than I've seen in a long time. In the Dallas-Fort Worth area, we've had about four snow events when, in most winters, we usually have two....

I've Been Counted - Get Those Census Forms Mailed In

Posted 03-27-2010 at 08:08 AM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

It's a process that's done every ten years in the United States. The moment I saw it arriving in my mailbox, I immediately gave full attention to it and with no hesitation.

The form that showed up in my mail was the all-important 2010 U.S. Census form. I immediately filled out the important information that our friends at the Department of Commerce wanted and needed to know, and it only took five minutes. Since I live alone, the process was very quick. Upon filling...

Case's Food Reviews: Installment Two

Posted 03-27-2010 at 05:24 AM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Right now, I'm going to do something I have not done in a while, and that is give all you loyal readers my latest restaurant reviews. I snuck out of the D/FW area Thursday morning (March 25) and ventured out to West Texas. There was this hankering to take to the roads to see some sights and taste some good food. So I squeezed a one-night road trip in Lubbock, Texas.

I picked three places in Lubbock this time, so it's time now to let 'er rip!

Today Was All The More Reason To Be In A Good Mood

Posted 03-12-2010 at 06:53 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Have you ever had days where you were just in a real good mood and everything turned out just right? Well, today was one of those days (the good version, not the bad one). Aside from the fact that at this very writing, it is Friday, there were just a lot of things that simply made today a great day. And, yes, it is worth sharing, or else, you can skip this and go to the next blog if your mood is less than what mine was.

I mean, not too many eventful...
