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,

Groundhog Day Again - And Another Early Spring

Posted 02-02-2013 at 08:33 AM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

My gosh, is Punxsutawney Phil auditioning for a weather job in Dallas? No, I think he'll just stay in Pennsylvania, but he just did warm weather lovers a humongous favor. For the second time in three years, he's predicting an early spring. Shadow or no, I like it when he rings this tune.

I'm with him, actually. I prefer highs of 70 over highs of 40. We just had a slight cold spell in North Texas in the last few days, but we'll be back to 70 tomorrow,...

Looks Like 'Color My World' Is Taking On A New Twist

If my apartment complex were a pop-up book, there'd now be a little kid putting different colors of paint on all the formerly-cream-colored exteriors. He'd probably use a magic marker kind of like I would have at his alleged age, but that's not important now. Seen my place lately? Oh, I forgot; y'all haven't seen it yet. Well, if you'd travel by my little neighorhood right now, you would see the real thing. Indeed, the painters have come on and coated numerous colors...

Time once again to scattershoot amongst the masses as I bring you yet another installment from this trusty medium we call..................the blog. So, let's gather together for some news, notes, views, and just some good, plain ol' fun. While some of you are still cold out there, let me keep you toasty warm for a little bit.

I just mentioned toasty warm. With the harsh reminder that it's still winter time here in America, I'll take...

Case's Food Reviews: Installment Eight

Posted 01-20-2013 at 03:20 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

You could say it's been a while since I've done a food review for you, and I have found a new place for me to go for breakfast. This time, it's in Frisco, Texas, and it's tucked away in a shopping center near a major grocery store. And the place has Frisco written all over it in its Texas-style decor as you look at the modern architecture. As always, I'm presenting this with my rating system of 1 to 5 stars (1 = poor, 5 = superior).

I took my food finds this time...

So The Texans Won't Go To The Big One

Posted 01-19-2013 at 03:36 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

Talk about teased. The Houston Texans played with fans' emotions this season, having started the regular season 11-1, and then stinking up the place for the remaining five games. It was like night and day when you take a look at each half this season. Yes, they beat the Cincinnati Bengals in the playoff opener two weeks ago, but they still were not impressive offensively.

Overall, it was a year of new franchise highs for the team. Expectations had been higher...
