Time Waits For No One

I turn 51 today. December 2nd, 2024. Going in to 50 last year I felt perfectly fine with it. I honestly feel like I truly came into my own when I turned 40. Sure, my body started the old breakdown with worn out joints, snap crackle pop sounds every time I went up stairs(or got […]

Been A Minute…

Hey all. Sorry for the absence. It’s that time of year where I put in some vacation time and unplug, spending my time off recording music, painting, watching movies, and spinning records. Also, just attempting to rid my brain of all the toxic waste that’s left in my head thanks to working for a giant […]

Me And Mom Go On A Beer(And Ice Cream) Run

We’re getting to the end of 2024, and that means I start eyeing my remaining vacation days like a hawk. Doing the math and figuring out how many days I need to cover my Thanksgiving vacation week, maybe a birthday vacation day, and then the time I need to cover our year-end shutdown. Well, since […]

2023 : We Hardly Knew Ye

Hello Folks. We’re officially one week out from Christmas. What does that mean? Well, it means that we’re only two weeks out from New Year’s Day. That means that 2023 is an old geezer of a year and that 2024’s water is about to break. My sense of time and the passage of time has […]

Danish Butter Cookies, Cigarettes, And Resentment

As a kid I never saw my paternal grandparents as much as my maternal grandparents. My mom’s mom I saw the most because my mom was really close to her mom. We’d spend many summer days at my grandma’s house on the lake. We’d fish, take the pontoon out, go get lunch at the Streamliner […]

Under The Weather…Getting Over The Hump

The concept of sick seems to have changed dramatically in the last two and a half years. Before Covid you could say you felt like shit and nobody would blink an eye at you. Coughing, sore throat, sniffles, maybe even a slight wheeze in your chest and it was “Oh, well I’ll stop at CVS […]

Andrew Bird : Hark!

Listen, I know it’s hard for you to admit it but let’s face facts: Christmas is just around the corner. Sure, we’ve still got Thanksgiving to hit but in case you haven’t looked outside lately there’s lots of white stuff on the ground. School has been cancelled already due to icy roads and I’ve already […]

New Year’s Eve

I can’t remember the last New Year’s Eve that I had to get up and go to work. It’s been years. And yet, here I am. I’m at work, wondering why in the hell I’m here. It’s not that I don’t understand that folks work on New Year’s Eve. I know they do. I know […]

Greetings From Holiday Island

Hello guys and gals! How have you been? I hope your holiday season has been a pleasant one. I shared a few rum and cokes with the old man on Christmas and watched quite a bit of tv about older men dropping serious cash on vintage cars. The kids were thrilled with what was under […]

The Black Friday Bloat

So here I am, relaxing in my easy chair and typing away. It’s been over a week since I’ve checked in here at jhubner73.com and I have to admit it feels weird. I can’t remember the last time I went a week without writing. Now, I have done some writing since then but nothing I […]
