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

Open Up The Store And Let The Shoe Shine In

There's always something to be said about living in an area where there are about 6 million people. You sort of get spoiled by the advantages that it possesses. We get spoiled by having great amenities in nearly relationship of life closeby.

That said, I think I'm on to something brand-new in my life. One of the great things about living in a large metropolitan area is a place called Nordstrom. I'm sure many of you have heard of it. It's a high-end clothing store...

Getting My Z's In All The Wrong Places

Posted 12-17-2009 at 12:01 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

It's happening again. All I'm doing is sitting at my computer listening to some streamlining out of Lubbock while doing some occasional typing here on City-Data. Then, suddenly, an unwanted force comes over me like some giant monster waiting to attack. Hey, this experience would make a great book.

The problem is that the sleep bug wants to get me at 11 a.m. in the morning instead of, say, when I lay my head on the trusty ol' pillow. The Z's come and...

Even More Scattershooting / How I Would Save NBC

Posted 12-03-2009 at 02:56 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)
Updated 12-04-2009 at 05:31 AM by case44

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, and many of us are about to go shopping to get some significant things for significant people so that Santa Claus won't get any credit. So, let's now do some scattershooting, and remember to duck just in case you get grazed by a stray.......uh, observation.

I'm sure you've heard, by now, about the plight of the NBC television network, and although the "Proud Peacock" isn't dead...

The Best Ideas? Remember To Write Them Down

Posted 11-27-2009 at 06:20 AM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)
Updated 11-27-2009 at 06:30 AM by case44

It's funny how you or anyone else can get new ideas for certain things at the worst or strangest possible times. I had struggled lately to come up with new ideas for blogs to write, and sometimes, the inevitable just happens. And it happened the other day while I was out driving............and I didn't stop to write the ideas down!

You see, things can happen at a moment's notice or without any prior warning. As with any other entity in life, so goes the art...

Another Reason To Go To Work: Traditions

Posted 11-24-2009 at 01:55 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

When I wake up on Wednesday mornings to head off to the place where I sacrifice all comfort, there's a special time for the giving of a slight diversion. I've put together a very simple tradition that people now look forward to.

Most workplaces today are filled with grumpy, whiny people who look forward to three things: quitting time, vacation, and their paychecks. So, with the middle of the week coming up, I figured I'd provide a fourth thing for my...
