Shaking The Habitual

It’s Sunday and I don’t have much to report. But, since I’m sitting in my chair relaxing I figured I could put these fingers to work. The majority of the weekend has been listening to music, so it’s been a pretty good weekend for the most part. I’ve had some moments of bull-headedness, but that’s […]

Reach For The Dead…

The last couple days have been some of the most mild since spring. It’s been absolutely gorgeous out. So what do I do? I go to the gym instead of getting my cardio in the great outdoors. Oh well. The windows are open and the breeze is rolling through the house making it feel like […]

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 […]

Video Nasties Make Audio Lovlies

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about certain things in my childhood that influenced my tastes as an adult. My parents making homemade pizza on Saturday nights definitely followed me up to adulthood(except we usually have pizza during the week). Growing up listening to music all the time. There was always a record spinning when […]

Field Day: Last Humiliation of the School Year

Today is the last day of school for my kids. My oldest is in 7th grade, so the last day for her will be nostalgic, bittersweet, and filled with overwhelming joy at the thought of sleeping in and staying up late facechatting or talktiming with her friends. But for my two youngest -who are leaving […]

Ice Cream Man

Growing up in a rural area amidst cornfields and lakes in northeast Indiana I didn’t have access to a lot of things kids that grew up in town did. I couldn’t walk to the park. I couldn’t ride my bike to the newsstand and grab a comic book(or the latest copy of Metal Edge and […]

Random Thoughts: Part Two by J. Hubner

I remember one summer I was invited to go to Bible School with Bitey and his older sister. We didn’t go to church at our house. The only time a Hubner entered a church was for a wedding or some sort of dinner after a funeral. Anyways, my mom was tired of my overactive imagination […]

Random Thoughts: Part One by J. Hubner

My earliest memory is sitting in a high chair that seemed to be located in a screened-in porch in a woods or forest. I was being fed something with little cut-up mushrooms in it(green bean casserole? prison food?) by an older woman. I’m thinking it was my great-grandma, or one of my grandma’s sisters that […]
