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,

Frisco Community Parade Gets Better Each Year
Posted 11-07-2015 at 07:42 PM by case44
Everybody loves a parade. And even if the day isn't July 4, then everybody still loves a parade anyway. And that was the place to be this morning in Frisco, Texas, in the Old Town section. No place like Main Street to see nearly 85 entries in the Frisco Community Parade, usually the first Saturday in November.
All of the city's high schools, public plus Legacy Christian Academy, had sent their cheerleaders, football players, drill teams, and bands to take part in the festivities. Joining them were all the civic groups and organizations you can think of in town. And throw in the city council, school board, Santa Claus, police officers, and firefighters, and you've got a yearly tradition. It was especially great to see the retired veterans riding by some old classic vehicle as it rode by, with everybody cheering and waving. All the spectators were waving little bitty American flags. Even Johnny B from Texoma's KLAK-FM (97.5 - K-Lake) was announcing the entries with enthusiasm. The Case looks forward each year to a tradition that keeps growing with the city. Frisco is certainly going from a town to a city.
And jolly old Saint Nick? Heck, he wouldn't miss it for the world. The toys can wait.
