My Own Little Corner Of The World

So here is where I go after a long day at work. It’s also where I go when I’m throwing on some tunes for the wife and I when it’s chill time in the evening. When the moment calls for Coltrane, Davis, Monk, or Dolphy? Yep, right here. I’m entertaining and the moment requires a […]

James Murphy Is Playing At My House

Last night I finally watched LCD Soundsystem’s swan song live documentary Shut Up And Play The Hits. While it didn’t move me quite like I’d hoped it would(an 8 year old punching couch cushions pretending to be a member of the Justice League throughout the film didn’t help…in my living room, not the movie itself), […]

Drift Away

So I’m in a ramblin’ kind of mood this evening. The kids are at their perspective pals abodes, my wife is at work earning some dough, and White Hills’ Stolen Stars Left For No One is spinning at the moment. I gotta say, that was the best $13 I’ve spent in a long time(well, the […]

My Favorite Albums of 2013: Six Months In

We are officially halfway through the year. A little past that point, actually. Since we spoke last time Easter, Memorial Day, and the Fourth of July have passed. We’re only a month away from the final episodes of Breaking Bad, there was that whole Game Of Thrones thing, and the wonderful James “Tony Soprano” Gandolfini […]

a long, strange trip…

Only two more days of my great week away from the land of clock punching and spinal implants. I have to say that this was exactly what I needed. My goal was to completely forget about that place I call “work” and just de-compress for a week with my kids. No big trips…no time schedules […]

Happy Fourth of July

….or for my friends not in the lower 48, Happy Thursday! For those of us that are in the lower 48, today’s the one day of the year where grilling your food over an open flame is mandatory and every man, woman, and child must light at least one fuse that is attached to some […]

Vacation in the Land of Corn

Yes, you read that right folks. Jhubner73 is on vacation. No more clocking in, driving fork lifts, answering doors, listening to pig-faced rats tell me what to do on a daily basis. No sir. I’m free. Free at last to sleep in. Free at last to walk around in my boxers till 11am. Free at […]

A Quick One…

I couldn’t tell you the last time I had a glass of Nestle Quick. Well, I can tell you now. It was 10 minutes ago. But before that it was years and years back. I have a little history with Nestle Quick. You see, my grandpa Jack was a salesman for Nestle. He supplied all […]

Fathers Day

It’s hard to believe we’re already at Fathers Day this year. 2013 is nearly to the halfway point. Three or so weeks left till the Fourth of July and a month or so of people celebrating their independence by intruding on my sleep by shooting firecrackers till the wee hours of the morning. Man, that […]

1996-2013…and counting

It was 17 years ago today that my wife and I exchanged vows in an overly hot community building overlooking the sort of pretty Winona Lake, in the even less sort of pretty Winona Lake, IN. We were married by a Justice of the Peace. She was a very nice lady. I can’t recall her […]
