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

Whatever Happened To Prompt Service?

Posted 08-28-2008 at 08:20 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

It's not very often that I rant about anything, but instead, I think I'll just spend this time wondering. That's right, wondering. Wondering why I make a simple request at my apartment office to have a maintenance fellow come on up to the breezeway next door to my second-story apartment and.......

......replace a light bulb.

That was two weeks ago. Well, this week came along, and, sure enough, the overhead light bulb in the breezeway was finally replaced....

Inland Water And Little Lakes

Posted 08-06-2008 at 04:51 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Creations of earth do get amazing, don't they? Depending on where you live, it seems like more and more people are developing fancy, new neighborhoods, with many new homes, designs, and landscaping. To go along with that, something else is included in the mix. Developers these days sure do have wild obsessions with small lakes and canals. I've seen them popping up in new locations throughout Texas, including where I live, the Dallas-Fort Worth area. They're seemingly everywhere...

Scattershooting/A Very Clever Ad

Posted 07-27-2008 at 12:22 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Every now and then on Case's Column, I might have a few things on my mind instead of just one topic, so I will call these particular visits Scattershooting. This is paying homage to former Dallas Morning News and Dallas Times Herald sports columnist Blackie Sherrod, who coined that term as he went "hither and yon" in his Sunday morning writings. So, right here, I'll plan on being your C-D scattershooter in residence. Now, off we go!

Put Your (Minute) Hands Together

Posted 07-25-2008 at 04:19 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)
Updated 07-25-2008 at 04:29 PM by case44

An observation was made by this writer while at work recently. Something significantly important needed to be fixed and was annoyingly out of place. As a matter of fact, this thing has been going on for the last few weeks, and nobody had done anything about it. No one noticed, no one cared enough, and no one stepped up, stood in the gap, and was just danged proactive in making sure that a certain act needed to get done.

Nobody.

Until yesterday. That's...

An Apple A Day Keeps The Bad Things Away

Posted 07-14-2008 at 07:41 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Planting the seeds that are good for your life, I welcome you back to Case's Column. And the seeds I'd like to refer to now are apple seeds. I don't really plant them to make apple trees, but the previous sentence makes a great segue to the subject at hand. My subject here is the result of the seeds being planted and watered. An apple. What is it? What is it about an apple that gets the hype it does from time to time? Heck, Adam and Eve made the delectable delight the subject...
