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,

My Car Has Always Run Fine, But Some Lights Are On

Posted 06-30-2018 at 08:12 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Out of all the cars I've ever driven through the years, nothing has been better than my 2011 Toyota Camry. Nothing. I've hardly ever had a problem with the vehicle.

But today, two lights came on in the dashboard panel. Sometimes, a malfunction in the fuse or wiring might be a possibility, as it was on two occasions where a light came on. Come Monday, I think it'd be best to have the dealership check it out. It's funny that the aforementioned lights...

Ten Years Since My First Blog Post -- And Still Going

Posted 06-28-2018 at 05:42 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)
Updated 06-28-2018 at 07:02 PM by case44

In the comment section of a previous post, in which I celebrated the anniversary (and/or birthday) of a legendary Dallas eatery, I hinted that another anniversary was about to happen.

Here is that time. This is the place.

It has been ten years since this writer began letting his fingers do the walking as City-Data began a new venture as an alternative to the main forum discussion pages. There needed to be an outlet where members could just speak their...

The Right Fit For Blue Jeans Is Hard To Find

Posted 06-28-2018 at 03:05 AM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

I don't feel like I'm that much bigger than in the past, but, apparently, I am. The reality of getting older means your pant sizes change a little too rapidly.

Nowadays, when I buy something like blue jeans, the size I need to wear now gets harder and harder to find. Several specialty stores in my area just don't have the type to fit my size, but they have practically every other size. So, recently, out of desperation, this writer went out and had...

Lots Of Movement In My Workplace

Posted 06-28-2018 at 02:50 AM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

My supervisor has said that he'd never seen anything like it in the thirteen years he's worked for the company. So many new positions have opened up in my ever-expanding department.

That's what's happening, not just for now, but for a number of weeks to come. My immediate group has had an exodus, with folks going to newly-opened positions or newly-created ones. The group that was two years ago will, in no way, resemble the group about to be. Four new people are...

Dallasites hither and thether will rejoice. Comfort food lovers will also rejoice. Norma's Cafe turns 62 on this day!

And to celebrate this momentous event, patrons are going to be treated to a special offer. This writer plans to take part in this, by the way. Three entrees, chicken-fried steak, meat loaf, and baked chicken with dressing, are all offered for $1.79 each, with mashed potatoes and green beans. They do this on every anniversary, and...
