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

Cousin Turns Fiddy Next Weekend

Posted 02-16-2013 at 08:28 AM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

They say a person's age is nothing to be ashamed of. As a matter of fact, it was actress Angie Dickinson who mentioned something of the sort in an article written about her years ago. A person's age is also nothing any of us can do anything about.

That said, I have a cousin that is going to be turning the big 5-0 next weekend. We'll have a few folks on hand at his house where his girlfriend will be hosting the grand event. I'm planning on going there myself. Hard...

I-69 Texas Update: H-Town's Southwest Side To See New Signage

Posted 02-12-2013 at 06:14 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)
Updated 02-12-2013 at 06:25 PM by case44

Last fall, I told you about the progress of the new Interstate 69 and its initial entry into Houston, Texas. First, it was a 35-mile stretch of the Eastex Freeway (U.S. Highway 59) from the North Loop (Interstate 610) to the town of Splendora. And I also mentioned that two more segments were awaiting FHWA approval and designation as an interstate.

That was then.

Last week, the announcement was made that one of the other stretches, this time, a 28-mile...

In The Week Ahead, The Calendar Demonstrates Happenstance

Posted 02-09-2013 at 07:10 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Four things are going to come together that you probably never thought would all fall, but it's just the way the calendar had it going in. Admittedly, some of those things, we don't pay any of them a second or third thought. Spring training will be commencing shortly, but in this post with the subject at hand, that's not important now.

Have you looked at your calendar lately? Yes, it's that thing you hang in the kitchen, but take a really good look at it....

Valentine's Day Will Have You Seeing Red

Posted 02-09-2013 at 06:45 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Never mind that I am single and by myself. It won't exempt me from getting a couple of Valentine cards for some special people as the day approacheth ever so slightly. If nothing else, it will take my mind temporarily off the Astros and the start of spring training.

The grocery stores will be a sea of red this week. So, too, will all area candy stores (mine and yours). So, too, again, will Hallmark gift shops. I've been to the grocery store today and...

I need to make this a yearly tradition, and since I started blogging back in ought-8, I'm surprised I haven't to this point. So, this writer is going to this time.

As you all know, the Super Bowl occurs tomorrow at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans. You already know that the San Francisco 49ers are playing the Baltimore Ravens. Case's Column is now going to give you my prediction for the final score of the biiiiiggg game. Grab your cola and...
