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,

Updated 10-07-2016 at 09:22 PM by case44

Well, here I am again. In continuance of my poking fun at these Sunday morning talk shows the networks spew out at us each week as they have for years, I'm about to give you some more fun here on Case's Column. And, hey, since we are still in the midst of a presidential election campaign....

Remember that show that ABC-TV used to do way back when I was a kid? Yes, even before This Week. There used to be a show on Sunday morning called Issues And Answers, ...

All The Bands In Frisco Meet For A Special Night

Posted 10-04-2016 at 10:38 AM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

People in Frisco, Texas, have waited for this type of night for a long time. I've often wondered why it's taken so long for it to come to fruition. No matter, though. The big event that band enthusiasts (including this writer) have eagerly anticipated finally takes place at Ford Center At The Star this very evening.

The first annual Frisco ISD Marching Band Showcase; that's what is happening. All nine marching bands from Frisco Independent School District will...

Still Cutting Up With My Clippers

Posted 10-04-2016 at 08:49 AM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

We still have a few of these out there, and we all have not been paying attention. Sometimes, there comes a time in which we have to stop and soak in some nostalgia.

I'm talking about, of course, the swirling pole which looks like a rotating peppermint stick above the sidewalk.

These days, I don't go to barber shops much, as I have a clipper shaver to cut all my hair. Saves money. Now, there will be an occasion where I might go to Supercuts...

So The Astros Are Going To Stay Home

Posted 10-02-2016 at 09:25 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Six months and many fortnights ago, I predicted that the Houston Astros would go 92-70, finish second in the American League West, and get an AL Wild Card berth. They'd finish immediately behind the Rangers.

Much of that didn't happen.

Oh, the Rangers won the division; that much is certain. The Astros, meanwhile, didn't accomplish what they needed to. They finished 84-78, third place, and no playoffs. A 7-17 start in April took its toll,...

They've Finished The Bridge ---- Finally

Posted 10-01-2016 at 09:08 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Driving into Little Elm, Texas, just became much more fun. From the east, you slowly enter past some fast food places and residential spots from Frisco. But from the west, you have a dramatic entry at the northeast corner of Lake Lewisville on the F.M. 720 bridge going immediately into the continuous (but limited) commerce in the town.

It had been long-awaited, but it finally reached its completion. Having taken three years to rebuild, the lake bridge in and...
