Painting, Music, Books, And Concerts: A Few Quick Notes

Hello. How is it going in your neck of the woods? Did the weekend treat you right? Spins some tunes? Watch a movie or two? What book are you currently reading? I’m trying to get through Chuck Klosterman’s Fargo Rock City. I’ve actually been trying to get through it for a couple months now. I’m […]

Weekend Update : Indy, Books, Walks, Yard Work, Oh My!

It was a pretty decent weekend. Thursday night the wife and I drove our 20-year old to the Indianapolis airport. She had a 9pm flight from Indy to Newark, NJ. From Newark she took a cab to Manhattan where she spent the weekend with her best friend. A trip long overdue and one very sorely […]

Just A Reminder

You’re never too old or young to find a passion. Whatever it is, it’s always going to be waiting for you to find it. Sure, you need to put in a little leg work in order to find what that passion is, but once you do you’re going to find this existence that much better. […]

January 1st, 2021

So does it feel different? Did you wake from last evenings fun and boozy bubbles and feel as if a new leaf was turned? The light a bit brighter and the heaviness a bit lighter? Yeah? No? I woke to the sound of tapping at my bedroom window. It was sleet hitting the glass at […]

Lockdown Memories : Favorite Moments of 2020

Despite this year being what it was, there were little pockets of normalcy. Even enjoyment, if I may be so bold. There was plenty of anxiety, panic, confusion, and even desperation at the beginning. “Do we have to wipe everything down from the grocery store? Like set up a table in the garage and assembly […]

Thankful

If ever there was a year that gave so many so little to be thankful for, it’s 2020. Illness, deaths, job losses, isolated from family and friends, and the entire election cycle of poisoned rhetoric and flat-out lies has made this a year I think we’d all like to just flush like the giant turd […]

Things To Do While Waiting For The Reckoning

I’m not sick(not yet), and neither is anyone in the house(not yet.) What do you do when feeling healthy but you’re locked away in your home like a china doll in grandma’s antique hutch? Well, me being someone who quite enjoys down time and doing down time activities like listening to records, reading books, watching […]

In My Room

More than wealth, success, and a general sense of being important in some capacity, growing up the only thing I ever truly desired was a place to call my own. More important than going out with friends or going to the mall was having a space in this world that I felt safe. A corner […]

Different Name, Same Schmuck

If you happen by here often(or semi-often), then you’ll notice something is different about the place. Sure, the WordPress theme looks different(that may change again), but where is the affable Jhubner73.com, you’re probably wondering?(if you’re not, then you should pay closer attention.) Well, I have indeed re-christened the Good Ship Blog Spot. Jhubner73.com has been […]

College Visits and Existential Crisis

Had the last couple of days off. My oldest is home for spring break and I wanted to be home so I could hang out with her. It’s not like I had two days of fun and exciting activities planned or anything, but I was at least here and not at work. Thursday she went […]
